 ### Installation
 
-We use uv to manage our environment and manage our Python installation. You can install it following the instructions at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
+First, make sure that your version of Python is 3.12:
+
+```bash
+$ python --version
+Python 3.12.2
+```
+
+Any version that starts with 3.12 will do. If you need to install it, you can get it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
+
+Then install `tox`, if not already installed:
+
+```bash
+$ python -m pip install tox
+```
 
 ### Run the template's test suite
 
 To run the tests of the template using the current Python version:
 
 ```bash
-$ uv run tox run -e py
+$ tox -e py
 ```
 
 This uses `pytest `under the hood, and you can pass options to it after a `--`. So to run a particular test:
 
 ```bash
-$ uv run tox run -e py -- -k test_default_configuration
+$ tox -e py -- -k test_default_configuration
 ```
 
 For further information, please consult the [pytest usage docs](https://pytest.org/en/latest/how-to/usage.html#specifying-which-tests-to-run).

-Using Just for Docker Commands
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Increasingly it is becoming necessary to develop software in a secure environment in order that there are very few changes when deploying to production. Recently Facebook changed their policies for apps/sites that use Facebook login which requires the use of an HTTPS URL for the OAuth redirect URL. So if you want to use the ``users`` application with a OAuth provider such as Facebook, securing your communication to the local development environment will be necessary.
 
-We have included a ``justfile`` to simplify the use of frequent Docker commands for local development.
+In order to create a secure environment, we need to have a trusted SSL certificate installed in our Docker application.
 
-.. warning::

-    pressing CTRL+C (or sending other signals like SIGTERM, SIGINT, or SIGHUP) may only interrupt

 You may notice that some elements of this project do not exactly match what we describe in chapter 3 of `Two Scoops of Django 3.x`_. The reason for that is this project, amongst other things, serves as a test bed for trying out new ideas and concepts. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but the end result is that it won't necessarily match precisely what is described in the book I co-authored.
