-## Deploying the distribution
-
-Below are instructions for how to deploy this NOMAD Oasis distribution
-[for a new Oasis](#for-a-new-oasis) and [for an existing Oasis](#for-an-existing-oasis)
-
-### For a new Oasis
-
-- Find a Linux computer.
-- Make sure you have [docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) installed.
-Docker nowadays comes with `docker compose` built in. Prior, you needed to
-install the stand-alone [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
-- Download the modified configuration files [nomad-oasis.zip](nomad-oasis.zip) from this repository.
-- Run the following commands (skip `chown` on MacOS and Windows computers)
-
-
-```sh
-unzip nomad-oasis.zip
-cd nomad-oasis
-sudo chown -R 1000 .volumes
-docker compose pull
-docker compose up -d
-curl localhost/nomad-oasis/alive
-```
-
-- Open [http://localhost/nomad-oasis](http://localhost/nomad-oasis) in your browser.
-
-To run NORTH (the NOMAD Remote Tools Hub), the `hub` container needs to run docker and
-the container has to be run under the docker group. You need to replace the default group
-id `991` in the `docker-compose.yaml`'s `hub` section with your systems docker group id.
-Run `id` if you are a docker user, or `getent group | grep docker` to find your
-systems docker gid. The user id 1000 is used as the nomad user inside all containers.
-
-You can find more details on setting up and maintaining an Oasis in the NOMAD docs here:
-[nomad-lab.eu/prod/v1/docs/oasis/install.html](https://nomad-lab.eu/prod/v1/docs/oasis/install.html)
-
-### For an existing Oasis
-
-If you already have an Oasis running you only need to change the image being pulled in
-your `docker-compose.yaml` with `ghcr.io/GITHUB_REPOSITORY:main` for the services
-`worker`, `app`, `north`, and `logtransfer`.
-
-If you want to use the `nomad.yaml` from this repository you also need to comment out
-the inclusion of the `nomad.yaml` under the volumes key of those services in the
-`docker-compose.yaml`.
-
-```yaml
-    volumes:
-      # - ./configs/nomad.yaml:/app/nomad.yaml

+```sh
+curl -L -o nomad-oasis.zip "https://github.com/GITHUB_REPOSITORY/raw/main/nomad-oasis.zip"

 docker compose pull
