+### 1. [Download and install the IC SDK.](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/building-apps/getting-started/install)
 
-Navigate into the folder containing the project's files and start a local instance of the Internet Computer with the commands:
+### 2. Download your project from ICP Ninja using the 'Download files' button on the upper left corner, or [clone the GitHub examples repository.](https://github.com/dfinity/examples/)
 
+### 3. Navigate into the project's directory.
