 ## PREREQUISITES
 
-You'll need to install various tools to access important but optional features.
-
-### 7-Zip
-
-#### Windows 7-Zip
-
-First install 7z from https://www.7-zip.org/ or with command line:
-```
-winget install --id 7zip.7zip
-```
-
-On Windows, make sure to install the `64-bit x64` version. KCC expects it to be installed to `C:\Program Files\7-Zip` (on the `C:\` drive) which is default.
-
-#### macOS 7-Zip/Unar
-with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed
-```
-brew install p7zip
-brew install unar
-```
+You'll need to install various tools to access important but optional features. Close and re-open KCC to get KCC to detect them.
 
 ### KindleGen
 
-#### Windows / macOS KindleGen
+On Windows and macOS, install [Kindle Previewer](https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previewer/b?ie=UTF8&node=21381691011) and `kindlegen` will be autodetected from it.
 
-It's included in [Kindle Previewer](https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previewer/b?ie=UTF8&node=21381691011).
+If you have issues detecting it, get stuck on the MOBI conversion step, or use Linux AppImage or Flatpak, refer to the wiki: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/Installation#kindlegen
 
-On Windows, KCC expects it to be installed on the `C:/` drive, which is by default.
+### 7-Zip
+
+This is no longer required as of KCC 6.1. 
+
+If you still need it, refer to the wiki: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/Installation#7-zip
