 ----------

-There is a nice installation guide over at the [Minetest Wiki](http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Installing_mods). Here is a short summary:
+Head over to ContentDB **⇈** to install it directly.
 
-1. Download the mod from the [official releases page](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/releases). The download links are labelled "Source Code". If you are using Windows, you'll want to download the ZIP version.
-2. You should have a file named `Minetest-WorldEdit-x.x.zip`.
-3. Extract this file using your archiver of choice. If you are using Windows, open the ZIP file and move the folder inside to a safe place outside of the ZIP file.
-4. Make sure that you now have a folder with a file named README.md inside it. If you just have another folder inside this folder, use the nested folder instead.
-5. Move this folder into the `MINETEST_FOLDER/mods` folder, where `MINETEST_FOLDER` is the folder Minetest is located in.
-6. Open Minetest to a world selection screen.
-7. Select a world you want to use WorldEdit in by left clicking on it once and press the **Configure** button.
-8. You should have a mod selection screen. Select the one named something like `Minetest-WorldEdit` by left clicking once and press the **Enable Modpack** button.
-9. Press the **Save** button. You can now use WorldEdit in that world. Repeat steps 7 to 9 to enable WorldEdit for other worlds too.
+Otherwise, you may install it manually:
 
-If you are having trouble, try asking for help in the [IRC channel](https://web.libera.chat/#minetest) (faster but may not always have helpers online)
-or ask on the [forum topic](https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=572) (slower but more likely to get help).
+1. Download the ZIP file from the [here](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) (rolling release version)
+2. You should have a file named `Minetest-WorldEdit-xxxx.zip`.
+3. Extract this file. If you are using Windows, open the ZIP file and move the folder inside to a safe place outside of the ZIP file.
+4. Make sure that you now have a folder with a file called "README.md" inside it. If you just have another folder inside this folder, use the nested folder instead.
+5. Move this folder into the `mods` folder of your Luanti installation.
+6. Open Luanti to a world selection screen.
+7. Select a world you want to use WorldEdit in by left clicking on it once and press the *Configure* button.
+8. You should have a mod selection screen. Double-click on the entry named something like `Minetest-WorldEdit`, which will enable it.
+9. Press the *Save* button. You can now use WorldEdit in that world. Repeat steps 7 to 9 to enable WorldEdit for other worlds too.

+If you prefer to have a "stable" release, take a look at the [releases page](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/releases).
