 ## Installation
 
-To install the VIP Coding Standards, run:
-```bash
-composer config allow-plugins.dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer true
-composer require automattic/vipwpcs
-```
+[Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) will install the latest compatible versions of PHPCS, PHPCSUtils, PHPCSExtra, WPCS and VariableAnalysis and register the external standards with PHP_CodeSniffer.
+
+Please refer to the [installation instructions for installing PHP_CodeSniffer for WordPress VIP](https://docs.wpvip.com/how-tos/code-review/php_codesniffer/) for more details.
+
+As of VIPCS version 2.3.0, there is no need to `require` the [PHP_CodeSniffer Standards Composer Installer Plugin](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/composer-installer) anymore as it is now a requirement of VIPCS itself. Permission to run the plugin will still need to be granted though when using Composer 2.2 or higher.
