-Installing gitflow
-------------------
-There isn't a real Unix installer available, but the project is so small that
-installing it is easy.
+Installing git-flow
+-------------------
+To install `git-flow` as a real `git` subcommand, run:
-Either:
+ $ sudo make install
-- Put the `gitflow` directory anywhere on your Unix `PATH` variable; or
-- Run:
-
- $ git clone git://github.com/nvie/gitflow
- $ cd gitflow
- $ cp gitflow* /usr/local/bin
+By default, this will install `git-flow` into the default Git exec path
+(`/usr/libexec/git-core`). To override this setting in case you have installed
+Git in another location, use:
+
+ $ sudo make GIT_EXEC_PATH=/your/git/exec/path install
+
+Or simply point your `PATH` environment variable to your git-flow checkout.
