 ## Installation
 
+Run a tagged version directly from GitHub without cloning the repository:
+
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli.git
-cd nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli
-npm ci
+npx -y github:alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli#v1.0.0 --help

-Run from the checkout with `npm start --`, or install the command globally:
+Or install that tagged version globally:
 
 ```bash
-npm install -g .
+npm install -g github:alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli#v1.0.0
 npm-ssl-updater --help
 ```
 
+GitHub Releases also contain the exact `npm pack` tarball for each version. This
+is useful when you want to install the published release artifact itself:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g https://github.com/alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli/releases/download/v1.0.0/npm-ssl-updater-1.0.0.tgz
+```
+
+The examples are intentionally pinned to a tag. Replace `v1.0.0` with the
+version you want instead of relying on the current default branch.
+
+For development from a checkout:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli.git
+cd nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli
+npm ci
+npm start -- --help

 ## Installazione
 
+Esegui direttamente una versione taggata da GitHub, senza clonare la repository:
+
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli.git
-cd nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli
-npm ci

 ```bash
-npm install -g .
+npm install -g github:alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli#v1.0.0

 ```
 
+Le GitHub Release contengono anche il tarball esatto prodotto da `npm pack`,
+utile se vuoi installare direttamente l'artefatto pubblicato:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g https://github.com/alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli/releases/download/v1.0.0/npm-ssl-updater-1.0.0.tgz
+```
+
+Gli esempi sono intenzionalmente bloccati a un tag. Sostituisci `v1.0.0` con la
+versione desiderata invece di affidarti al branch di default corrente.

+Per lo sviluppo da checkout:

+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/alsd4git/nginx-proxy-manager-ssl-cli.git
