 ## Getting Started
 
-Novaconium is heavly influenced by docker, but you can use composer outside of docker.  
-You can [learn more about how novaconium works with composer](https://git.4lt.ca/4lt/novaconium/src/branch/master/docs/Install-Composer-On-Debian.md).
+Novaconium is designed to be developed primarily using Docker. Instead of relying on tools installed directly on your system, common development tasks are executed inside containers:
+
+* Composer runs inside a Docker container rather than on your host machine
+* Apache / PHP are served from containers instead of your local environment
+* Sass compilation is also handled within a container
+
+As long as you have Docker installed, you can use the full development environment without installing additional dependencies on your system.
