- 1st --> first, general guideline is to spell numbers up to 12 out

- which, which ... repetitive, improved
- comma
- instructions to install ==> installation instructions
- another comma
- "not worry" ==> "need not worry"

- putting emphasis on repository being online
- "the" article required in this case
- removed "version" from "ebook version" to simplify
- green: work order corrected
