 Installation
 =====
 
-`git clone https://github.com/R-a-dio/valkyrie.git` into location of your choosing because we use the new go modules that don't require a `GOPATH`. To avoid weird tooling issues it's best to completely avoid your `GOPATH` when working with modules so don't clone it into your `GOPATH`.
+`git clone https://github.com/R-a-dio/valkyrie.git`
