-This project implements the new *nomad@FAIRDI* infrastructure. It is currently used
-to enable users to upload data, process the data, maintain a version of the NOMAD
-archive and meta-info, provide search, inspection, and download to all NOMAD raw and
-archive data. As a long term strategy, this project will integrate, refactor, and re-write
-more and more of the existing NOMAD CoE components.
-
-The overall goal of *nomad@FAIRDI* is to provide common interfaces to the main services of NOMAD:
-*Repository*, *Archive*, and *Encyclopedia*. These interfaces comprise a graphical web-based
-UI that allows users to upload data, supervise data processing, inspect and download
-metadata, raw-files, and archive data, provide visual tools to explore the data, and
-to learn more about advanced use modes, like API and Analytics Toolkit. The second interface
-is a unified REST API with various endpoints that represent the core NOMAD services.
-This will allow users the automated use of NOMAD for managing their data, and using
-data on NOMAD for analytics. A specific way of using the API is through the NOMAD
-Analytics Toolkit, which is revamped as a
-[separate project](https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/nomad-lab/analytics-jupyterhub).

 ## Getting started
 
-Read the docs. The documentation is part of the source code. It covers aspects like
-introduction, architecture, development setup/deployment, contributing, and API reference.
-
-### Read the docs on the latest deployed version
-
-You can access the running system and its documentation here:
-
-[https://repository.nomad-coe.eu/uploads/api/docs](https://repository.nomad-coe.eu/uploads/api/docs/index.html)
-
-### Generate the docs from the source
-
-First, clone this repo and init its submodules:
-```
-git clone git@gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de:nomad-lab/nomad-FAIR.git
-cd nomad-FAIR
-git submodule init --depth 1
-```
-
-Second, create and source your own virtual python environment:
-```
-pip install virtualenv
-virtualenv -p `which python3` .pyenv
-source .pyenv/bin/activate
-```
-
-Third, install the development dependencies, including the documentation system
-[sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/index.html):
-```
-pip install --upgrade pip
-pip install --upgrade setuptools
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-Forth, generate the documentation:
-```
-cd docs
-make html
-```
-
-Conintue with reading the documentation for further setup and contribution guidelines:
-```
-cd .build/html
-python -m http.server 8888
-```
-Open [http://localhost:8888/html/setup.html](http://localhost:8888/html/setup.html) in
-your browser.
+Read the [docs](https://repository.nomad-coe.eu/app/docs). The documentation is also part
+of the source code. It covers aspects like introduction, architecture, development setup/deployment,
+contributing, and API reference.
