+title: "Get Netdata"

+
+# Get Netdata
+
+import { OneLineInstall } from '../src/components/OneLineInstall/'
+import { Install, InstallBox } from '../src/components/InstallBox/'
+
+Netdata uses the open-source Netdata Agent and Netdata Cloud web application
+[together](/docs/overview/what-is-netdata.md) to help you collect every metric, visualize the health of your nodes, and
+troubleshoot complex performance problems. Once you've signed in to Netdata Cloud and installed the Netdata Agent on all
+your nodes, you can claim your nodes and see their real-time metrics on a single interface.
+
+## Sign in to Netdata Cloud
+
+If you don't already have a free Netdata Cloud account, go ahead and [create one](https://app.netdata.cloud).
+
+Choose your preferred authentication method and follow the onboarding process to create your Space.
+
+## Install the Netdata Agent
+
+The Netdata Agent runs permanently on all your physical/virtual servers, containers, cloud deployments, and edge/IoT
+devices. It runs on Linux distributions (**Ubuntu**, **Debian**, **CentOS**, and more), container/microservice platforms
+(**Kubernetes** clusters, **Docker**), and many other operating systems (**FreeBSD**, **macOS**), with no `sudo`
+required.
+
+> 鈿狅笍 Many distributions ship with third-party packages of Netdata, which we cannot maintain or keep up-to-date. For the
+> best experience, use one of the methods described or linked to below.
+
+The **recommended** way to install the Netdata Agent on a Linux system is our one-line [kickstart
+script](/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md). This script automatically installs dependencies and builds Netdata
+from its source code.
+
+<OneLineInstall />
+
+Copy the script, paste it into your node's terminal, and hit `Enter`.
+
+Open your favorite browser and navigate to `http://localhost:19999` or `http://REMOTE-HOST:19999` to open the dashboard.

+
+## Claim your node on Netdata Cloud
+
+You need to [claim](/claim/README.md) your nodes to see them in Netdata Cloud. Claiming establishes a secure TLS
+connection to Netdata Cloud using the [Agent-Cloud link](/aclk/README.md), and proves you have write and administrative
+access to that node.
+
+When you view a node in Netdata Cloud, the Agent running on that node streams metrics, metadata, and alarm status to
+Netdata Cloud, which in turn streams those metrics to your web browser. Netdata Cloud [does not
+store](/docs/store/distributed-data-architecture.md#does-netdata-cloud-store-my-metrics) or log metrics values.
+
+To claim a node, you need to run the claiming script. In Netdata Cloud, click on your Space's name, then **Manage your
+Space** in the dropdown. Click **Nodes** in the panel that appears. Copy the script and run it in your node's terminal.
+The script looks like the following, with long strings instead of `TOKEN` and `ROOM1,ROOM2`:
+
+```bash
+sudo netdata-claim.sh -token=TOKEN -rooms=ROOM1,ROOM2 -url=https://app.netdata.cloud
+```
+
+The script returns `Agent was successfully claimed.` after creating a new RSA pair and establishing the link to Netdata
+Cloud. If the script returns an error, try our [troubleshooting tips](/claim/README.md#troubleshooting).
+
+> 馃挕 Our claiming reference guide also contains instructions for claiming [Docker
+> containers](/claim/README.md#claim-an-agent-running-in-docker), [Kubernetes cluster parent
+> pods](/claim/README.md#claim-an-agent-running-in-docker), via a [proxy](/claim/README.md#claim-through-a-proxy), and
+> more.

+
+For more information on the claiming process, why we implemented it, and how it works, see the [claim](/claim/README.md)
+and [Agent-Cloud link](/aclk/README.md) reference docs.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you experience issues with installing the Netdata Agent, see our
+[installation](/packaging/installer/README.md#troubleshooting-and-known-issues) reference. Our
+[reinstall](/packaging/installer/REINSTALL.md) doc can help clean up your installation and get you back to monitoring.
+
+For Netdata Cloud issues, see the [Netdata Cloud reference docs](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/cloud).
+
+## What's next?
+
+At this point, you have set up your free Netdata Cloud account, installed the Netdata Agent on your node(s), and claimed
+one or more nodes to your Space. You're ready to start monitoring, visualizing, and troubleshooting with Netdata. We
+have two quickstart guides based on the scope of what you need to monitor.
+
+Interested in monitoring a single node? Check out our [single-node monitoring
+quickstart](/docs/quickstart/single-node.md).
+
+If you're looking to monitor an entire infrastructure with Netdata, see the [infrastructure monitoring
+quickstart](/docs/quickstart/infrastructure.md).
+
+Or, skip ahead to [Agent configuration](/docs/configure/nodes.md).
