 ## Usage
 
-### Install a plugin
+## Install a plugin 
+
+### Install a plugin from file system
+
+Install a Notation plugin from file system. Plugin file supports `.zip` and `.tar.gz` format. The checksum validation is optional for this case. 
 
 ```shell
-notation plugin install <plugin path>
+$ notation plugin install --file <file_path>
+```
+
+Upon successful execution, the plugin is copied to Notation's plugin directory. If the plugin directory does not exist, it will be created. The name and version of the installed plugin are displayed as follows. 
+
+```console
+Successfully installed plugin <plugin name>, version <x.y.z>
+```
+
+If the entered plugin checksum digest doesn't match the published checksum, Notation will return an error message and will not start installation.
+
+```console
+Error: failed to install the plugin: plugin checksum does not match user input. Expecting <sha256sum>
+```
+
+If the plugin version is higher than the existing plugin, Notation will start installation and overwrite the existing plugin.
+
+```console
+Successfully installed plugin <plugin name>, updated the version from <x.y.z> to <a.b.c>
+```
+
+If the plugin version is equal to the existing plugin, Notation will not start installation and return the following message. Users can use a flag `--force` to skip plugin version check and force the installation.
+
+```console
+Error: failed to install the plugin: <plugin-name> with version <x.y.z> already exists.
+```
+
+If the plugin version is lower than the existing plugin, Notation will return an error message and will not start installation. Users can use a flag `--force` to skip plugin version check and force the installation.
+
+```console
+Error: failed to install the plugin: <plugin-name>. The installing plugin version <a.b.c> is lower than the existing plugin version <x.y.z>.
+It is not recommended to install an older version. To force the installation, use the "--force" option.
 ```
+### Install a plugin from URL
 
-Upon successful execution, the plugin is copied to plugins directory and name+version of plugin is displayed. If the plugin directory does not exist, it will be created. When an existing plugin is detected, the versions are compared and if the existing plugin is a lower version then it is replaced by the newer version.
+Install a Notation plugin from a remote location and verify the plugin checksum. Notation only supports installing plugins from an HTTPS URL, which means that the URL must start with "https://".
+
+```shell
+$ notation plugin install --sha256sum <digest> --url <HTTPS_URL>
+```
 
 ### Uninstall a plugin
 
 ```shell
-notation plugin remove <plugin name>
+notation plugin uninstall <plugin_name>
+```
+
+Upon successful execution, the plugin is uninstalled from the plugin directory. 
+
+```shell
+Are you sure you want to uninstall plugin "<plugin name>"? [y/n] y
+Successfully uninstalled <plugin_name> 
+```
+
+Uninstall the plugin without prompt for confirmation.
+
+```shell
+notation plugin uninstall <plugin_name> --yes
 ```
 
-Upon successful execution, the plugin is removed from the plugins directory. If the plugin is not found, an error is returned showing the syntax for the plugin list command to show the installed plugins.
+If the plugin is not found, an error is returned showing the syntax for the plugin list command to show the installed plugins.
