 ### Installing Gina
 Gina aims to be at the same time a framework, a deployment and monitoring environment for your projects. So, to fully enjoy Gina, we recommend that you install it with the `-g` option.
 > For Microsoft Windows, you might have to run the command line with Administrator privileges.
-> For Linux & Mac OS X, __the use of `sudo` is discouraged__
+> For Linux & Mac OS X, __the use of `sudo` is discouraged.__
+
+#### 1st method (prefered)
 
-__For developpment__
 ```  tty
 npm install -g gina@latest
 ```
 
-Or if you have an Error like `EACCESS: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/gina'`
+__A few words about this method__
+Gina will try to install itself using the default $NPM_PREFIX. If the target is not writable, the prefix used will be updated for the time of the install process to `~/.npm-global` and restored back to your default $NPM_PREFIX after installation.
+This is why you should not get errors on installation.
+
+Still, __if you are not enterely satisfyied with this method__, you can setup permissions for your user in order to be able to write to : `$NPM_PREFIX/lib/node_modules`.
+
+If you don't already have done it, you should start with :
 
-__For production__
 ```tty
-npm install -g gina@latest --prefix=~/.npm-global --reset
+sudo chown -R $USER $(npm config get prefix)/lib/node_modules
 ```
-This will install gina in the user's home directory avoiding at the same time the need to use `sudo`.
-the `reset` argument is there to ensure a factory reset for the `~/.gina` folder.
 
 
-You can check if Gina is properly installed
+> __NB. :__ If you choose to use `sudo npm install -g gina`, you have to make sure that everytime you need to use the gina CLI, or if you use a specific command like `npm link gina`, you will have to do it with `sudo`.
+
+Then
+
 ```  tty
-gina version
+npm install -g gina@latest
 ```
-__NB.:__ This is a shortcut for `gina framework:version`
 
 
+#### 2nd method - Custom PREFIX
+
+This will install Gina in the user's home directory avoiding at the same time the need to use `sudo`.
+By adding at the end the `--reset` argument, you will ensure a factory reset for the `~/.gina` preferences folder: all preferences will be lost, but your existing projects will not be erased.
+
+```tty
+npm install -g gina@latest --prefix=~/.npm-global
+```
+
+
+
+#### 3rd method - local to your project
+
+If you feel like you do not need to install globally Gina for some reasons like only using the framework for a single project, you can install Gina without the `-g` argument.
+Go to your project's root and tap:
+```tty
+npm instal gina@latest
+```
+
+__Attention:__  to use gina CLI, you will need to run it from your project location since the CLI was not installed with the global argument `-g`.
+
+#### You can now check if Gina is properly installed
