 ## Automated Installation
 
-> **NOTE:** installs OSPF MDR
+The automated install will install the various tools needed to help automate
+the CORE installation (python3, pip, pipx, invoke, poetry). The script will
+also automatically clone, build, and install the latest version of OSPF MDR.
+Finally it will install CORE scripts and a systemd service, which have
+been modified to use the installed poetry created virtual environment.

 ## Manual Installation
 
+Below is an example of more formal manual steps that can be taken to install
+CORE. You can also just install invoke and run `inv install` alone to simulate
+what is done using `install.sh`.

+The last two steps help install core scripts modified to leverage the installed
+poetry virtual environment and setup a systemd based service, if desired.
