 Three default subscriptions are automatically created for you: 
-Default (1 seconde), Fast (500ms) and Slow(5 secondes). They provide differents publishing intervals for the most common scenarii we usually find in typical IIoT applications. You can customize the parameter or delete or add new subscriptions if you wish.

 Most of the time, only a few subscriptions are needed. 
 
-Note: The default subscription cannot be deleted, it serves as a mechanism to keep the connection always active with the server by handligng a keepalive packet, and serves as well in the automatic reconnection mechanism, in case of a network outage.

+Ir brings the following OPCUA Client features. 
+- **Read**   - read one or more UAVariables.
+- **Write**  - write one or more UAVariables.
+- **Browse**  - browse a UANode for references and child nodes.
+- **Monitor** - monitor a UAVariable for changes.
+- **MonitorEvents** - monitor a UAObject for events.
+- **Call** - call a method passing input arguments and getting output arguments.
+- **Explore** - explore the OPCUA server address space subtree and get information about nodes and references as JSON structure.

 It has been designed with the following goals in mind:
 
 - easy to use, easy to configure; no deep OPCUA knowledge required.
-- provide visual tools to pick up nodeId by browsing the OPCUA server

 ## Getting Started 
 
-To install the node execute the following command inside the `.node-red`` directory:
+The easiest way to install the nodes is to use the Manage palette option in the Node-RED editor menu. In the Install tab, you can search for the @opcua/for-node-red package and click `install`. Once the installation is complete the nodes are available.
+
+Alternatively, you can install the nodes in your `Node-RED` configuration folder inside the `.node-red`` directory:
 
 ```console
+cd ~/.node-red
 npm install @opcua/for-node-red
 ```
 
+The nodes will be available after a restart of the Node-RED application.
