28 | | -### Easy path |
29 | | - |
30 | 28 … | 1. [Download an Installer](https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork/releases) for Windows, macOS and Linux |
31 | 29 … | 2. Get a [pub invite code](https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/wiki/Pub-Servers) |
32 | 30 … | 3. Use the pub invite : in Patchwork click `+ Join Pub` and paste the invite code |
33 | 31 … | |
34 | 32 … | Step 2 is important if you want to be able to find people further than your local network - it sets you up with a robot friend on the internet which helps you find and communicate with people. |
35 | 33 … | Read more about Pubs and their role [here](./concepts/pub.md). |

46 | | -``` |
47 | | - |
48 | | -With [node (>= 4) and npm (>= 2) installed](https://github.com/creationix/nvm): |
49 | | - |
50 | | -```shell |
51 | | -$ git clone https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork |
52 | | -$ cd patchwork |
53 | | -$ npm install |
