 ## Usage
 
 Helmsman can be used in three different settings:
 
-- [As a binary with Minikube](https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman/blob/master/docs/how_to/run_helmsman_with_minikube.md).
-- [As a binary with a hosted cluster](https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman/blob/master/docs/how_to/run_helmsman_with_hosted_cluster.md).
-- [As a docker image in a CI system or local machine](https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman/blob/master/docs/how_to/run_helmsman_in_ci.md) Always use a tagged docker image from [dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/praqma/helmsman/) as the `latest` image can (at times) be unstable.
