+#### Running the pipeline from the source code
+
+If the Nextflow integration with Git does not work, users can download the tarball from the releases page. After extracting the tarball, the pipeline can be run directly by executing the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ nextflow run path-to-source-code/main.nf --help
+```
+
 #### Local execution
 
 The pipeline can be run on a desktop or laptop, with the caveat that it will take a few hours to complete depending on the resources. There is a local profile in the Nextflow config that limits the total resources the pipeline can use to 8 cores and 12 GB of RAM. In order to run it (Docker or Singularity are still required):
 
 ```bash
-nextflow run ebi-metagenomics/mettannotator \
+nextflow run -latest ebi-metagenomics/mettannotator \
    -profile local,<docker or singulairty> \
    --input assemblies_sheet.csv \
