 ## Install
 
 1. Check a clone of this repo: `git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it.git ~/.bash_it`
-2. Run `~/.bash_it/install.sh` (it automatically backs up your `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc`, depends on your OS)
-3. Edit your modified config (`~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc`) file in order to customize bash it.
-
-**NOTE:**
-The install script will also prompt you asking if you use [Jekyll](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll).
-This is to set up the `.jekyllconfig` file, which stores info necessary to use the Jekyll plugin.
+2. Run `~/.bash_it/install.sh` (it automatically backs up your `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc`, depending on your OS)
+3. Edit your modified config (`~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc`) file in order to customize Bash it.
+4. Check out available aliases, completions and plugins and enable the ones you want to use (see the next section for more details).
 
 **INSTALL OPTIONS:**
 The install script can take the following options:
 
-* `--all`: Enable all aliases, plugins and completions.
-* `--none`: Don't enable any aliases, plugins or completions.
+* `--interactive`: Asks the user which aliases, completions and plugins to enable.
 
-If none of these parameters is provided, the install script will ask the user.
+When run without the `--interactive` switch, Bash it only enables a sane default set of functionality to keep your shell lean and to avoid issues with missing dependencies. Feel free to enable the tools you want to use after the installation.
