+## Installation
+
+Syft binaries are provided for Linux, macOS and Windows.
+
+### Recommended
+> ```bash 
+> curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/main/install.sh | sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
+> ```
+
+Install script options:
+-	`-b`: Specify a custom installation directory (defaults to `./bin`)
+-	`-d`: More verbose logging levels (`-d` for debug, `-dd` for trace)
+-	`-v`: Verify the signature of the downloaded artifact before installation (requires [`cosign`](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) to be installed)
+
+### Homebrew
+```bash
+brew install syft
+```
+
+### Scoop
+
+```powershell
+scoop install syft
+```
+
+### Chocolatey
+
+The chocolatey distribution of Syft is community-maintained and not distributed by the Anchore team
+
+```powershell
+choco install syft -y
+```
+
+### Nix
+
+**Note**: Nix packaging of Syft is [community maintained](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/admin/syft/default.nix). Syft is available in the [stable channel](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nix_channels#The_official_channels) since NixOS `22.05`.
+
+```bash
+nix-env -i syft
+```
+
+... or, just try it out in an ephemeral nix shell:
+
+```bash
+nix-shell -p syft
+```
+
+## Getting started
+
+### SBOM
+
+To generate an SBOM for a container image:
+
+```bash
+syft <image>
+```
+
+The above output includes only software that is visible in the container (i.e., the squashed representation of the image). To include software from all image layers in the SBOM, regardless of its presence in the final image, provide `--scope all-layers`:
+
+```bash
+syft <image> --scope all-layers
+```
+
+### Output formats
+
+The output format for Syft is configurable as well using the `-o` (or `--output`) option:
+
+```
+syft <image> -o <format>
+```
+
+Where the `formats` available are:
+- `syft-json`: Use this to get as much information out of Syft as possible!
+- `syft-text`: A row-oriented, human-and-machine-friendly output.
+- `cyclonedx-xml`: A XML report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.4 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
+- `cyclonedx-json`: A JSON report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.4 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
+- `spdx-tag-value`: A tag-value formatted report conforming to the [SPDX 2.3 specification](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.3/).
+- `spdx-tag-value@2.2`: A tag-value formatted report conforming to the [SPDX 2.2 specification](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.2.2/).
+- `spdx-json`: A JSON report conforming to the [SPDX 2.3 JSON Schema](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/v2.3/schemas/spdx-schema.json).
+- `spdx-json@2.2`: A JSON report conforming to the [SPDX 2.2 JSON Schema](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/v2.2/schemas/spdx-schema.json).
+- `github-json`: A JSON report conforming to GitHub's dependency snapshot format.
+- `syft-table`: A columnar summary (default).
+- `template`: Lets the user specify the output format. See ["Using templates"](#using-templates) below.

-
-```
-syft <image> --scope all-layers
-```
-
-### Supported sources
-
-Syft can generate a SBOM from a variety of sources:
-
-```
-# catalog a container image archive (from the result of `docker image save ...`, `podman save ...`, or `skopeo copy` commands)
-syft path/to/image.tar
-
-# catalog a Singularity Image Format (SIF) container
-syft path/to/image.sif
-
-# catalog a directory
-syft path/to/dir
-```
-
-Sources can be explicitly provided with a scheme:
-
-```
-docker:yourrepo/yourimage:tag            use images from the Docker daemon
-podman:yourrepo/yourimage:tag            use images from the Podman daemon
-containerd:yourrepo/yourimage:tag        use images from the Containerd daemon
-docker-archive:path/to/yourimage.tar     use a tarball from disk for archives created from "docker save"
-oci-archive:path/to/yourimage.tar        use a tarball from disk for OCI archives (from Skopeo or otherwise)
-oci-dir:path/to/yourimage                read directly from a path on disk for OCI layout directories (from Skopeo or otherwise)
-singularity:path/to/yourimage.sif        read directly from a Singularity Image Format (SIF) container on disk
-dir:path/to/yourproject                  read directly from a path on disk (any directory)
-file:path/to/yourproject/file            read directly from a path on disk (any single file)
-registry:yourrepo/yourimage:tag          pull image directly from a registry (no container runtime required)
-```
-
-If an image source is not provided and cannot be detected from the given reference it is assumed the image should be pulled from the Docker daemon.
-If docker is not present, then the Podman daemon is attempted next, followed by reaching out directly to the image registry last.
-
-
-This default behavior can be overridden with the `default-image-pull-source` configuration option (See [Configuration](https://github.com/anchore/syft#configuration) for more details).
-
-### Default Cataloger Configuration by scan type
-
-Syft uses different default sets of catalogers depending on what it is scanning: a container image or a directory on disk. The default catalogers for an image scan assumes that package installation steps have already been completed. For example, Syft will identify Python packages that have egg or wheel metadata files under a site-packages directory, since this indicates software actually installed on an image.
-
-However, if you are scanning a directory, Syft doesn't assume that all relevant software is installed, and will use catalogers that can identify declared dependencies that may not yet be installed on the final system: for example, dependencies listed in a Python requirements.txt.
-
-You can override the list of enabled/disabled catalogers by using the "catalogers" keyword in the [Syft configuration file](https://github.com/anchore/syft#configuration).

-### Excluding file paths
-
-Syft can exclude files and paths from being scanned within a source by using glob expressions
-with one or more `--exclude` parameters:
-```
-syft <source> --exclude './out/**/*.json' --exclude /etc
-```
-**Note:** in the case of _image scanning_, since the entire filesystem is scanned it is
-possible to use absolute paths like `/etc` or `/usr/**/*.txt` whereas _directory scans_
-exclude files _relative to the specified directory_. For example: scanning `/usr/foo` with
-`--exclude ./package.json` would exclude `/usr/foo/package.json` and `--exclude '**/package.json'`
-would exclude all `package.json` files under `/usr/foo`. For _directory scans_,
-it is required to begin path expressions with `./`, `*/`, or `**/`, all of which
-will be resolved _relative to the specified scan directory_. Keep in mind, your shell
-may attempt to expand wildcards, so put those parameters in single quotes, like:
-`'**/*.json'`.
-
-### Output formats
-
-The output format for Syft is configurable as well using the
-`-o` (or `--output`) option:
-
-```
-syft <image> -o <format>
-```
-
-Where the `formats` available are:
-- `syft-json`: Use this to get as much information out of Syft as possible!
-- `syft-text`: A row-oriented, human-and-machine-friendly output.
-- `cyclonedx-xml`: A XML report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.4 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
-- `cyclonedx-json`: A JSON report conforming to the [CycloneDX 1.4 specification](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/).
-- `spdx-tag-value`: A tag-value formatted report conforming to the [SPDX 2.3 specification](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.3/).
-- `spdx-tag-value@2.2`: A tag-value formatted report conforming to the [SPDX 2.2 specification](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.2.2/).
-- `spdx-json`: A JSON report conforming to the [SPDX 2.3 JSON Schema](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/v2.3/schemas/spdx-schema.json).
-- `spdx-json@2.2`: A JSON report conforming to the [SPDX 2.2 JSON Schema](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/v2.2/schemas/spdx-schema.json).
-- `github-json`: A JSON report conforming to GitHub's dependency snapshot format.
-- `syft-table`: A columnar summary (default).
-- `template`: Lets the user specify the output format. See ["Using templates"](#using-templates) below.
-
-## Using templates
-
-Syft lets you define custom output formats, using [Go templates](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template). Here's how it works:
-
-- Define your format as a Go template, and save this template as a file.
-
-- Set the output format to "template" (`-o template`).
-
-- Specify the path to the template file (`-t ./path/to/custom.template`).
-
-- Syft's template processing uses the same data models as the `syft-json` output format — so if you're wondering what data is available as you author a template, you can use the output from `syft <image> -o syft-json` as a reference.
-
-**Example:** You could make Syft output data in CSV format by writing a Go template that renders CSV data and then running `syft <image> -o template -t ~/path/to/csv.tmpl`.
-
-Here's what the `csv.tmpl` file might look like:
-```gotemplate
-"Package","Version Installed","Found by"
-{{- range .Artifacts}}
-"{{.Name}}","{{.Version}}","{{.FoundBy}}"
-{{- end}}
-```
-
-Which would produce output like:
-```text
-"Package","Version Installed","Found by"
-"alpine-baselayout","3.2.0-r20","apkdb-cataloger"
-"alpine-baselayout-data","3.2.0-r20","apkdb-cataloger"
-"alpine-keys","2.4-r1","apkdb-cataloger"
-...
-```
-
-Syft also includes a vast array of utility templating functions from [sprig](http://masterminds.github.io/sprig/) apart from the default Golang [text/template](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template#hdr-Functions) to allow users to customize the output format.
-
-Lastly, Syft has custom templating functions defined in `./syft/format/template/encoder.go` to help parse the passed-in JSON structs.
-
-## Multiple outputs
-
-Syft can also output _multiple_ files in differing formats by appending
-`=<file>` to the option, for example to output Syft JSON and SPDX JSON:
-
-```shell
-syft <image> -o syft-json=sbom.syft.json -o spdx-json=sbom.spdx.json
-```
-
-## Private Registry Authentication
-
-### Local Docker Credentials
-When a container runtime is not present, Syft can still utilize credentials configured in common credential sources (such as `~/.docker/config.json`). It will pull images from private registries using these credentials. The config file is where your credentials are stored when authenticating with private registries via some command like `docker login`. For more information see the `go-containerregistry` [documentation](https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/tree/main/pkg/authn).
-
-An example `config.json` looks something like this:
-```json
-{
-	"auths": {
-		"registry.example.com": {
-			"username": "AzureDiamond",
-			"password": "hunter2"
-		}
-	}
-}
-```
-
-You can run the following command as an example. It details the mount/environment configuration a container needs to access a private registry:
-
-```
-docker run -v ./config.json:/config/config.json -e "DOCKER_CONFIG=/config" anchore/syft:latest  <private_image>
-```
-
-### Docker Credentials in Kubernetes
-
-Here's a simple workflow to mount this config file as a secret into a container on Kubernetes.
-
-1. Create a secret. The value of `config.json` is important. It refers to the specification detailed [here](https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/tree/main/pkg/authn#the-config-file). Below this section is the `secret.yaml` file that the pod configuration will consume as a volume. The key `config.json` is important. It will end up being the name of the file when mounted into the pod.
-
-    ```yaml
-    # secret.yaml
-
-    apiVersion: v1
-    kind: Secret
-    metadata:
-      name: registry-config
-      namespace: syft
-    data:
-      config.json: <base64 encoded config.json>
-    ```
-
-   `kubectl apply -f secret.yaml`
-
-
-2. Create your pod running syft. The env `DOCKER_CONFIG` is important because it advertises where to look for the credential file. In the below example, setting `DOCKER_CONFIG=/config` informs syft that credentials can be found at `/config/config.json`. This is why we used `config.json` as the key for our secret. When mounted into containers the secrets' key is used as the filename. The `volumeMounts` section mounts our secret to `/config`. The `volumes` section names our volume and leverages the secret we created in step one.
-
-    ```yaml
-    # pod.yaml
-
-    apiVersion: v1
-    kind: Pod
-    metadata:
-      name: syft-k8s-usage
-    spec:
-      containers:
-        - image: anchore/syft:latest
-          name: syft-private-registry-demo
-          env:
-            - name: DOCKER_CONFIG
-              value: /config
-          volumeMounts:
-          - mountPath: /config
-            name: registry-config
-            readOnly: true
-          args:
-            - <private_image>
-      volumes:
-      - name: registry-config
-        secret:
-          secretName: registry-config
-    ```
-
-   `kubectl apply -f pod.yaml`
-
-
-3. The user can now run `kubectl logs syft-private-registry-demo`. The logs should show the Syft analysis for the `<private_image>` provided in the pod configuration.
-
-Using the above information, users should be able to configure private registry access without having to do so in the `grype` or `syft` configuration files.  They will also not be dependent on a Docker daemon, (or some other runtime software) for registry configuration and access.
-
-## Format conversion (experimental)
-
-The ability to convert existing SBOMs means you can create SBOMs in different formats quickly, without the need to regenerate the SBOM from scratch, which may take significantly more time.
-
-```
-syft convert <ORIGINAL-SBOM-FILE> -o <NEW-SBOM-FORMAT>[=<NEW-SBOM-FILE>]
-```
-
-This feature is experimental and data might be lost when converting formats. Packages are the main SBOM component easily transferable across formats, whereas files and relationships, as well as other information Syft doesn't support, are more likely to be lost.
-
-We support formats with wide community usage AND good encode/decode support by Syft. The supported formats are:
-- Syft JSON (```-o syft-json```)
-- SPDX 2.2 JSON (```-o spdx-json```)
-- SPDX 2.2 tag-value (```-o spdx-tag-value```)
-- CycloneDX 1.4 JSON (```-o cyclonedx-json```)
-- CycloneDX 1.4 XML (```-o cyclonedx-xml```)
-
-Conversion example:
-```sh
-syft alpine:latest -o syft-json=sbom.syft.json # generate a syft SBOM
-syft convert sbom.syft.json -o cyclonedx-json=sbom.cdx.json  # convert it to CycloneDX
-```
-
-## Attestation (experimental)
-### Keyless support
-Syft supports generating attestations using cosign's [keyless](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/blob/main/KEYLESS.md) signatures.
-
-Note: users need to have >= v1.12.0 of cosign installed for this command to function
-
-To use this feature with a format like CycloneDX json simply run:
-```
-syft attest --output cyclonedx-json <IMAGE WITH OCI WRITE ACCESS>
-```
-This command will open a web browser and allow the user to authenticate their OIDC identity as the root of trust for the attestation (Github, Google, Microsoft).
-
-After authenticating, Syft will upload the attestation to the OCI registry specified by the image that the user has write access to.
-
-You will need to make sure your credentials are configured for the OCI registry you are uploading to so that the attestation can write successfully.
-
-Users can then verify the attestation(or any image with attestations) by running:
-```
-COSIGN_EXPERIMENTAL=1 cosign verify-attestation <IMAGE_WITH_ATTESTATIONS>
-```
-
-Users should see that the uploaded attestation claims are validated, the claims exist within the transparency log, and certificates on the attestations were verified against [fulcio](https://github.com/SigStore/fulcio).
-There will also be a printout of the certificates subject `<user identity>` and the certificate issuer URL: `<provider of user identity (Github, Google, Microsoft)>`:
-```
-Certificate subject:  test.email@testdomain.com
-Certificate issuer URL:  https://accounts.google.com
-```
-
-### Local private key support
-
-To generate an SBOM attestation for a container image using a local private key:
-```
-syft attest --output [FORMAT] --key [KEY] [SOURCE] [flags]
-```
-
-The above output is in the form of the [DSSE envelope](https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/dsse/blob/master/envelope.md#dsse-envelope).
-The payload is a base64 encoded `in-toto` statement with the generated SBOM as the predicate. For details on workflows using this command see [here](#adding-an-sbom-to-an-image-as-an-attestation-using-syft).

-
-### Adding an SBOM to an image as an attestation using Syft
-
-`syft attest --output [FORMAT] --key [KEY] [SOURCE] [flags]`
-
-SBOMs themselves can serve as input to different analysis tools. [Grype](https://github.com/anchore/grype), a vulnerability scanner CLI tool from Anchore, is one such tool. Publishers of container images can use attestations to enable their consumers to trust Syft-generated SBOM descriptions of those container images. To create and provide these attestations, image publishers can run `syft attest` in conjunction with the [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) tool to attach SBOM attestations to their images.
-
-#### Example attestation
-Note for the following example replace `docker.io/image:latest` with an image you own. You should also have push access to
-its remote reference. Replace `$MY_PRIVATE_KEY` with a private key you own or have generated with cosign.
-
-```bash
-syft attest --key $MY_PRIVATE_KEY -o spdx-json docker.io/image:latest > image_latest_sbom_attestation.json

-```
-
-Verify the new attestation exists on your image.
-
-```bash
-cosign verify-attestation --key $MY_PUBLIC_KEY --type spdxjson docker.io/image:latest | jq '.payload | @base64d | .payload | fromjson | .predicate'
-```
-
-You should see this output along with the attached SBOM:
-
-```
-Verification for docker.io/image:latest --
-The following checks were performed on each of these signatures:
-  - The cosign claims were validated
-  - The signatures were verified against the specified public key
-  - Any certificates were verified against the Fulcio roots.
-```
-
-Consumers of your image can now trust that the SBOM associated with your image is correct and from a trusted source.
-
-The SBOM can be piped to Grype:
-
-
-```bash
-cosign verify-attestation --key $MY_PUBLIC_KEY --type spdxjson docker.io/image:latest | jq '.payload | @base64d | .payload | fromjson | .predicate' | grype
