 ### Prerequisites
 
-**⚠️ IMPORTANT: BMAD Method Required**
-
-BMAD-Enhanced is an extension package. You must have [BMAD Method](https://github.com/bmadhub/bmad) installed first:
-
-```bash
-# Install BMAD Method first
-npx bmad-method@alpha install
-```
-
-**Additional Requirements:**
 - Node.js 14+ or Bun
 - Git
 - Claude Code or Claude.ai
 
-### One-Command Installation
+**Optional:** [BMAD Method](https://github.com/bmadhub/bmad) - BMAD-Enhanced works standalone or as an extension to BMAD Method.
 
-Once BMAD Method is installed:
+### One-Command Installation
 
 ```bash
-npm install bmad-enhanced@1.3.0 && npx bmad-install-agents
+npm install bmad-enhanced && npx bmad-install-agents
 ```
 
-That's it! Emma and Wade (Vortex framework) with all 7 workflows are now added to your BMAD installation.
