 You can install the development version of `hfsubsetR` from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:
 
 ``` r
-# install.packages("devtools")
-devtools::install_github("lynker-spatial/hfsubsetR")
+# install.packages("remotes")
+remotes::install_github("lynker-spatial/hfsubsetR")
 ```

+## Basic Use
+
+### From local file 
+
+We can download a version (default = '2.2') hydrofabric (default = 'nextgen') for any domain (default = 'conus') using `get_hydrofabric`.
+
+```{r, eval = FALSE}
+gpkg <- '/Users/mikejohnson/hydrofabric/conus_nextgen.gpkg'
+
+get_hydrofabric(outfile = gpkg)
+```
+From that, we can extract data for a VPU:

+               outfile = '/Users/mikejohnson/hydrofabric/01_nextgen.gpkg')

+
+Or, we can extract a subset based on an input identifier (one of `id`, `comid`, `hl_uri`, `poi_id`, `nldi_feature`, `xy`):
+
+```{r}
+subset_fabric <- get_subset(gpkg = gpkg, comid = 101)
