 ## Minimal configuration
 
-**We don't recommend copying [example config](https://github.com/vimux/mainroad#configtoml-example) as-is.**
-Mainroad theme contains required defaults, so you don't need to add all of configuration parameters to run the
-theme for the first time without errors from Hugo. Make sure that you edit the `theme` param inside the config file
-and check that theme works. Only then start to add theme-specific parameters that you really need.
-[Customization page]({{< relref "/docs/customization.md" >}} "Mainroad theme customization") describes common settings
-that you may want to change and our [demo config](https://github.com/vimux/mainroad/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml)
-could help with configuration too.
