-### Connect
-
-1. Connect to GreptimeDB via standard [MySQL
-   client](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/):
-
-   ```
-   # The standalone instance listen on port 4002 by default.
-   mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 4002
-   ```
-
-2. Create table:
-
-   ```SQL
-   CREATE TABLE monitor (
-     host STRING,
-     ts TIMESTAMP,
-     cpu DOUBLE DEFAULT 0,
-     memory DOUBLE,
-     TIME INDEX (ts),
-     PRIMARY KEY(host)) ENGINE=mito WITH(regions=1);
-   ```
-
-3. Insert some data:
-
-   ```SQL
-   INSERT INTO monitor(host, cpu, memory, ts) VALUES ('host1', 66.6, 1024, 1660897955000);
-   INSERT INTO monitor(host, cpu, memory, ts) VALUES ('host2', 77.7, 2048, 1660897956000);
-   INSERT INTO monitor(host, cpu, memory, ts) VALUES ('host3', 88.8, 4096, 1660897957000);

 ## Resources
 
 ### Installation
 
-- [Pre-built Binaries](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb/releases):
-  For Linux and macOS, you can easily download pre-built binaries that are ready to use. In most cases, downloading the version without PyO3 is sufficient. However, if you plan to run scripts in CPython (and use Python packages like NumPy and Pandas), you will need to download the version with PyO3 and install a Python with the same version as the Python in the PyO3 version. We recommend using virtualenv for the installation process to manage multiple Python versions.
