 ## Quick start
 
-### Install via mise or asdf
+1. **Install Dexter.** Pick one:
 
-```sh
-# 1. Install dependencies (if you don't already have them)
-brew install sqlite  # or your preferred package manager
+   ```sh
+   # via mise
+   mise plugin add dexter https://github.com/remoteoss/dexter.git && mise use -g dexter@latest
+
+   # via asdf
+   asdf plugin add dexter https://github.com/remoteoss/dexter.git && asdf install dexter latest && asdf set --home dexter latest
+   
+   # via Homebrew
+   brew install remoteoss/tap/dexter
+   ```
 
-# 2. Install dexter (builds from source if no prebuilt binary is available for your platform)
-mise plugin add dexter https://github.com/remoteoss/dexter.git && mise use -g dexter@latest
-# or, with asdf:
-# asdf plugin add dexter https://github.com/remoteoss/dexter.git && asdf install dexter latest && asdf global dexter latest
+   Or [build from source](#development-building-from-source).
 
-# 3. Configure your editor (see below)
-# The LSP server auto-builds the index on first startup — no need to run dexter init manually.
-# You can still run it explicitly if you prefer: dexter init ~/code/my-elixir-project
-```
+2. **Configure your editor** — see [Editor setup](#editor-setup) below.
 
-You can also [build from source](#development-building-from-source) directly.
+3. **Open an Elixir project.** Dexter indexes automatically the first time the LSP starts.
