-The easiest way to use functions from gDR package is by using the Docker image. Here is one of the ways to do that. 
-
-1. Generate new personal token 
-Firstly, generate new personal token if you don't have one (go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new).
-
-2. Clone the gDR repository 
-Then, clone the gDR repository via https (not ssh). Please use the personal token when asked for the password.
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/gdrplatform/gDR.git
-```

-3. [Optional] Save access token into .github_access_token.txt file
-Write your access token as a single line in the file: `rplatform/.github_access_token.txt`. 
+1. Install BiocManager
 
 ```
-cp .github_access_token.txt rplatform/
+install.packages("BiocManager")
 ```
 
-4. Docker build 
-Then build the Docker image.
-```
-bash extras/create_image.sh
-```
+2. Install gDR packages
 
-5. Create 'gdr_rstudio' container with RStudio IDE available at http://localhost:8787 (default credentials are login: `rstudio` and password: `gdr`).
 ```
-bash extras/create_container.sh
+BiocManager::install(c("gDRstyle", "gDRtestData", "gDR"), version = "devel")
 ```
