 In order to execute the code example, you need to specify `MONGODB_URI` environment variable to connect to a MongoDB cluster. If you don't have any you can create one by signing up [MongoDB Atlas Free-tier M0](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/getting-started/). 
 
 
-##  Execution Steps 
+##  Execution Step
 
-1. Build Docker image with a tag name. Within the top level directory execute: 
-   ```
-   docker build . -t start-cxx
-   ```
-   This will build a docker image with a tag name `start-cxx`. 
-
-2. Execute the helper shell script followed by the MongoDB URI that you would like to connect to. 
-      ```
-      ./get-started.sh "mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true"
-      ```
-
-   To use a different driver version, specify the driver version after the MongoDB URI. For example:
-      ```
-      ./get-started.sh "mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true" 3.6.0
-      ```
-
-
-## Alternative Execution Steps (without helper)
-
-#### Build Steps 
-
-1. Build Docker image with a tag name. Within this directory execute: 
-   * To use the default driver version and specify `MONGODB_URI`:
-      ```
-      docker build . -t start-cxx --build-arg MONGODB_URI="mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true"
-      ```
-   * To use a different driver version and specify `MONGODB_URI`. For example:
-      ```
-      docker build . -t start-cxx --build-arg DRIVER_VERSION=3.6.0 --build-arg MONGODB_URI="mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true"
-      ```
-   This will build a docker image with a tag name `start-cxx`. 
-   As a result of the build, the example code is compiled for the specified driver version and ready to be executed.
-
-2. Run the Docker image by executing:
-   ```
-   docker run --tty --interactive --hostname cxx start-cxx bash
-   ```
+Execute the helper shell script followed by the MongoDB URI that you would like to connect to. 
+```
+./get-started.sh "mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true"
+```
 
-   The command above will run a `start-cxx` tagged Docker image. Sets the hostname as `cxx`. 
+## Changing The Driver Version 
 
-#### Execution
+The Docker image has been built with a specific version. If you would like to use a different version, you could build a new image. Example: 
 
-1. Compile and execute the code example by following below steps:
-    * `c++ --std=c++11 getstarted.cpp -o getstarted $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libmongocxx)`
-    * `./getstarted`
+```
+docker build . -t start-cxx --build-arg DRIVER_VERSION=3.6.0 
+```
 
-From within the docker environment, you can also change the `MONGODB_URI` by changing the environment variable: 
+This will build a docker image with a tag name `start-cxx`. 
+Open the helper script `get-started.sh` in an editor of your choice, and change the value of `DOCKER_IMAGE` to `start-cxx` and save the file. Execute the helper script followed by the MongoDB URI. 
 
-```sh
-export MONGODB_URI="mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@new.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true"
-```
