 ## Desktop Installation
 
-### MacOS
-You can manually drag the fonts from the `fonts/otf` or `fonts/variable` directory into Font Book.
+### Manually
 
-There is also a script that automates the deletion of all Monaspace fonts from `~/Library/Fonts` and then copies over the latest versions. Invoke it from the root of the repo like:
+Use the provided [`Makefile`](Makefile) targets:
 
-```bash
-$ cd util
-$ bash ./install_macos.sh
+```sh
+$ make install  
+Fonts successfully installed in ~/.local/share/fonts/Monaspace
 ```
-You can also use [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) as an alternative:
 
-```bash

-brew install font-monaspace
+```sh
+$ make uninstall

+| DEST_DIR | Base directory where the fonts should be installed. | Windows: `%WINDIR%/Fonts`<br>MacOS: `~/Library/Fonts`<br>Linux: `~/.local/share/fonts` |
+| WRAP | Install the fonts in a subfolder named `Monaspace` within the `DEST_DIR`<br>`1` to enable, unset or any other value to disable it.| Enable by default for Linux which is the only one that supports it. |

+```sh
+$ make install WRAP=no
