-### Using Docker
-```bash
-docker run -d --name nocodb -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb:latest
-```
 
-- NocoDB needs a database as input : See [Production Setup](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/master/README.md#production-setup).
+<br/>
-- If this input is absent, we fallback to SQLite. In order too persist sqlite, you can mount `/usr/app/data/`. 
 
-  Example:
+## NPX
 
-  ```
+You can run below command if you need an interactive configuration.
-  docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name nocodb -v /local/path:/usr/app/data/ nocodb/nocodb:latest
-  ```
 
-### Using Npm
 ```
 npx create-nocodb-app
 ```
 
-### Using Git

+
+## Node Application
+
+We provide a simple NodeJS Application for getting started.
+
+```bash
 git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed
 cd nocodb-seed
 npm install
 npm start
 ```

-## Docker Compose
+We provide the following ways to let users to invoke actions in a programmatic way. You can use a token (either JWT or Social Auth) to sign your requests for authorization to NocoDB. 
-```
+
-git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
+- ⚡ &nbsp;REST APIs
-cd nocodb
+- ⚡ &nbsp;NocoDB SDK
-cd docker-compose
+
-cd mysql or pg or mssql
+### Sync Schema
-docker-compose up -d
+
-```
+We allow you to sync schema changes if you have made changes outside NocoDB GUI. However, it has to be noted then you will have to bring your own schema migrations for moving from environment to others. See <a href="https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/sync-schema/" target="_blank">Sync Schema</a> for details.
+
+### Audit 
+
+We are keeping all the user operation logs under one place. See <a href="https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/audit" target="_blank">Audit</a> for details.
+
+# Production Setup 
+
+By default, SQLite is used for storing meta data. However, you can specify your own database. The connection params for this database can be specified in `NC_DB` environment variable. Moreover, we also provide the below environment variables for configuration.
