+
+Get Software
+============
+
+There are several methods for getting Ceph software. The easiest and most common
+method is to `get packages`_ by adding repositories for use with package
+management tools such as the Advanced Package Tool (APT) or Yellowdog Updater,
+Modified (YUM). You may also retrieve pre-compiled packages from the Ceph
+repository. Finally, you can retrieve tarballs or clone the Ceph source code
+repository and build Ceph yourself.

+Install Software
+================
+
+Once you have the Ceph software (or added repositories), installing the software
+is easy. To install packages on each :term:`Ceph Node` in your cluster, use package
+management tools. You should install Yum Priorities for RHEL/CentOS and other
+distributions that use Yum if you intend to install the Ceph Object Gateway or
+QEMU.

+
+
+Deploy a Cluster Manually
+=========================
+
+Once you have Ceph installed on your nodes, you can deploy a cluster manually.
+The manual procedure is primarily for exemplary purposes for those developing
+deployment scripts with Chef, Juju, Puppet, etc.

+
+Upgrade Software
+================
+
+As new versions of Ceph become available, you may upgrade your cluster to take
+advantage of new functionality. Read the upgrade documentation before you
+upgrade your cluster. Sometimes upgrading Ceph requires you to follow an upgrade
+sequence.
