-## Quick start
+If you wish to initialise your site with the demo content, copy the contents of the `themes/academic/exampleSite/` folder to your website root folder, overwriting existing files if necessary. The `exampleSite` folder contains an example config file and content to help you get started. The following command can be used to accomplish this:
 
-1. If you installed on your computer, view your new website by running the following command:
-      
-       hugo server
+```bash
+cp -av themes/academic/exampleSite/* .
+```
 
-    Now visit [localhost:1313](http://localhost:1313) and your new Academic powered website will appear. Otherwise, if using Netlify, they will provide you with your URL.
-           
-2. Read the [Quick Start Guide](https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/) to learn how to add Markdown content, customize your site, and deploy it.

+## Get Started
 
-3. Build your site by running the `hugo` command. Then [host it for free using Github Pages](https://georgecushen.com/create-your-website-with-hugo/) or Netlify (refer to the first installation method). Alternatively, copy the generated `public/` directory (by FTP, Rsync, etc.) to your production web server (such as a university's hosting service).
