-## Path 1.5: Use The Prebuilt Release Zip
-
-Release zips can be found as an asset within the [releases listed here](https://github.com/jkingsman/Remote-Terminal-for-MeshCore/releases). This can be beneficial on resource constrained systems that cannot cope with the RAM-hungry frontend build process.
-
-If you downloaded the release zip instead of cloning the repo, unpack it and run:
-
-```bash
-cd Remote-Terminal-for-MeshCore
-uv sync
-uv run uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
-```
-
-The release bundle includes `frontend/prebuilt`, so it does not require a local frontend build.

+Local Docker builds are architecture-native by default. On Apple Silicon Macs and ARM64 Linux hosts such as Raspberry Pi, `docker compose build` / `docker compose up --build` will produce an ARM64 image unless you override the platform.

+

-```yaml
-build: .
+The guided Docker flow can collect BLE settings, but BLE access from Docker still needs manual compose customization such as Bluetooth passthrough and possibly privileged mode or host networking. If you want the simpler path for BLE, use the regular Python launch flow instead.

 ## Systemd Service
 
-Two paths are available depending on your comfort level with Linux system administration.
-
-### Simple install (recommended for most users)
-
 On Linux systems, this is the recommended installation method if you want RemoteTerm set up as a persistent systemd service that starts automatically on boot and restarts automatically if it crashes. Run the installer script from the repo root. It runs as your current user, installs from wherever you cloned the repo, and prints a quick-reference cheatsheet when done — no separate service account or path juggling required.
 
 ```bash
-bash scripts/install_service.sh
+bash scripts/setup/install_service.sh
 ```
 
-The script interactively asks which transport to use (serial auto-detect, serial with explicit port, TCP, or BLE), whether to build the frontend locally or download a prebuilt copy, whether to enable the bot system, and whether to set up HTTP Basic Auth. It handles dependency installation (`uv sync`), validates `node`/`npm` for local builds, adds your user to the `dialout` group if needed, writes the systemd unit file, and enables the service. After installation, normal operations work without any `sudo -u` gymnastics:
-
 You can also rerun the script later to change transport, bot, or auth settings. If the service is already running, the installer stops it, rewrites the unit file, reloads systemd, and starts it again with the new configuration.
 
-```bash
-# Update to latest and restart
-cd /path/to/repo
-git pull
-uv sync
-cd frontend && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
-sudo systemctl restart remoteterm
-
-# Refresh prebuilt frontend only (skips local build)

 ## Debug Logging And Bug Reports
 
 If you're experiencing issues or opening a bug report, please start the backend with debug logging enabled. Debug mode provides a much more detailed breakdown of radio communication, packet processing, and other internal operations, which makes it significantly easier to diagnose problems.
