-Do you prefer managing your site using a CMS? Or would you like to make it easier for someone (a non-techie, perhaps) in your team to make edits easily? If interested, follow along. Else, skip to the [next section](../organize-content/)
+Would you like to make it easier for someone (a non-techie, perhaps) in your team to make edits easily?
+
+You may skip to the [next section](../organize-content/), if not interested.
 
 Let's sync your site with Tina CMS.
 
-## Prerequisites !!
+1. Check the root of your site. If you do not have a `tina` folder. Download it using this command. 
 
-Obviously you ought to have __a github account__. This is where your website source will live. Basically, Tina will read from github and write (commit) to your github repo.
+    ```
+    curl -L https://github.com/onweru/compose/archive/refs/heads/master.zip -o cms.zip && unzip cms.zip "compose-master/exampleSite/tina/*" -d . && rm cms.zip
+    ```
 
-{{< tip "warning" >}}
-Gitlab or bitbucket will work too. Just check their [implementation here](https://Tina.io/docs/git-sync/gitlab/). Happy fishing.
-{{< /tip >}}
+    {{< tip >}}
+    The exampleSite already comes with prefilled placeholder Tina settings. If you set up your site using [option 2](../install-theme/#option-2-recommended)
 
-### Requirement 1 : A Tina.io account
+    {{< /tip >}}
 
-Jump over to [Tina.io](https://tina.io/) and sign up for an account. Consider signing up using your github account. That way, you don't have to deal with passwords.
+2. Update `./tina/config.js` & `.env` accordingly
 
-### Requirement 2: A Netlify account _(optional)_
+    ```json
+      ...
+      build: {
+        outputFolder: "admin",
+        publicFolder: "static",
+      },
+      media: {
+        tina: {
+          mediaRoot: "images",
+          publicFolder: "static",
+        },
+      },
+      schema: {
+        collections: [
+          ...
+        ],
+      },
+      search: {
+        tina: {
+          indexerToken: process.env.TINA_SEARCH_TOKEN!,
+          stopwordLanguages: ["deu", "eng", "fra", "ita", "spa", "nld"]
+        },
+        indexBatchSize: 100,
+        maxSearchIndexFieldLength: 100
+      }
+      ...
+    ```
 
-If you intend to host with something other than Netlify _e.g github pages_, please scroll on. Hosting with Netlify is a lot of fun though; I highly recommend it.
+3. Run the CMS locally
 
-### Step 1 : Fork or Clone Compose theme
+    ```sh
+    # you can use `pnpm, yarn or npm` instead of bun
+    bun install && bun dev
+    # if dependencies are already installed
+    bun dev
+    ```
 
-First we will fork [this theme's](https://github.com/onweru/compose) template.
+4. When in doubt check [tina CMS docs](https://tina.io/docs)
 
-### Step 2 : Add your repository in Tina CMS
-
-{{< tip >}}
-The exampleSite already comes with prefilled placeholder Tina settings. If you set up your site using [option 2](../install-theme/#option-2-recommended)
-
-{{< /tip >}}
-
-Update `./tina/config.js` & `.env` accordingly
-
-```json
-search: {
-  ...
-    tina: {
-      indexerToken: "977c145439dda036080dd7a33478d2ba385ab5af", // replace
-      stopwordLanguages: ["deu", "eng", "fra", "ita", "spa", "nld"] // consider adding or removing languages https://github.com/fergiemcdowall/stopword#language-code
-    },
-    ...
-  }
-...
-```
-
-Go to your [Tina](https://tina.io/) account
-
-## Use locally
-
-```sh
-# you can use `pnpm, yarn or npm` instead of bun
-bun install && bun dev
-# if dependencies are already installed
-bun dev
-```
