+
+```bash
+npm install -g yo
+```
+Next, identify the template you would like to use from the table below:

+
+Once you have identified the template you would like to use, install it using [npm][npm]. For example, to install the Empty Bot template:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @microsoft/generator-bot-empty
+```
+
+Finally, generate your new project using [Yeoman][yeoman], taking note of the following:
+
+- Remove `generator` from the package name, e.g. `@microsoft/generator-bot-empty` becomes `@microsoft/bot-empty`.
+- `--platform` and `--integration` match one of the listed values from template's platforms and integrations.
+  - `--platform` will default to **dotnet** if not specified.
+  - `--integration` will default to **webapp** if not specified.
+
+```bash
+yo @microsoft/bot-empty '{BOT_NAME}' --platform '{dotnet|js}' --integration '{webapp|functions}'

 ## Usage
 
 ### Creating your own templates
 
 If you need to create your own templates, you can use this generator as a base, and extend it to meet your needs with [Yeoman generator composition](https://yeoman.io/authoring/composability.html). Learn more about creating your own templates in [our documentation](https://aka.ms/bf-create-templates).

-## Getting To Know Yeoman
+## Using this template
 
- * Yeoman has a heart of gold.
+### From Composer
- * Yeoman is a person with feelings and opinions, but is very easy to work with.
+
- * Yeoman can be too opinionated at times but is easily convinced not to be.
+From Composer you'll use the **New** button on the **Home** screen to create a new bot. After creation, Composer will guide you through making customizations to your bot. If you'd like to extend your bot with code, you can open up your bot using your favorite IDE (like Visual Studio) from the location you choose during the creation flow.
- * Feel free to [learn more about Yeoman](http://yeoman.io/).
