-#### Fetch and run a pre-built installer
+#### Fetch and run a pre-built installer using a bootstrap curl/shell script
+The easiest install method for supported platforms:
+```bash
+$ curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/v0.13.0/install/solana-install-init.sh | sh
+```
 
+This script will check github for the latest tagged release and download and run the
+`solana-install` binary from there.
+
+
+If additional arguments need to be specified during the installation, the
+following shell syntax is used:
+```bash
+$ init_args=.... # arguments for `solana-installer init ...`
+$ curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/v0.13.0/install/solana-install-init.sh | sh -s - ${init_args}
+```
+
+#### Fetch and run a pre-built installer from a Github release
 With a well-known release URL, a pre-built binary can be obtained for supported
 platforms:
 
 ```bash
-$ curl -o solana-install https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/download/v1.2.3/solana-install-x86_64-apple-darwin
+$ curl -o solana-install https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/download/v0.13.0/solana-install-x86_64-apple-darwin
 $ chmod +x ./solana-install
 $ ./solana-install --help
 ```
 
-Note: future enhancements should include building wrapper in the style of
-https://rustup.rs/ to make bootstrapping an install even easier.
