-### Method 1: Using QodeAssistUpdater (Beta)
+### Method 1: Using the Extension Registry (Recommended)
+
+You can install and update QodeAssist directly from within Qt Creator by adding the QodeAssist registry as an external extension repository.
+
+1. Open the Extensions page (`Qt Creator → Extensions`) and switch to the **Browser** tab
+2. Enable **Use External Repository**
+3. Next to **Repository URLs**, click **Add** and paste the registry archive URL matching your Qt Creator version:
+   - **Latest (QtC 19)**: `https://github.com/Palm1r/extension-registry/archive/refs/heads/qodeassist.tar.gz`

+
+4. Click **Apply** — QodeAssist will appear in the extensions list, where you can **Install** it
+5. Updates can be installed from the same screen when a new version is published
