 To use kpt with files on your host, mount your current directory into the container and set a working directory:
 
 ```shell
-docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/workdir -w /workdir ghcr.io/kptdev/kpt:{{< kpt_version >}} pkg tree
-docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/workdir -w /workdir ghcr.io/kptdev/kpt:{{< kpt_version >}} fn render

 ```
 
 On Windows PowerShell, use `${PWD}.Path` for the current directory:
 
 ```shell
-docker run --rm -v "${PWD}.Path:/workdir" -w /workdir ghcr.io/kptdev/kpt:{{< kpt_version >}} pkg tree
+docker run --rm -v "${PWD}.Path:/workdir" -w /workdir ghcr.io/kptdev/kpt:v{{< kpt_version >}} pkg tree
 ```
 
 This pattern ensures kpt reads and writes files under `/workdir`, which maps to your current directory on the host.
