+```
+
+Installation of nios_modules Collection
+----------------------------------------
+
+The `nios_modules` collection can be installed either from Ansible Galaxy
+or directly from git. It is recommended to install collections from
+Ansible Galaxy as those are more stable than the ones in the git
+branch.
+
+### Installation from Ansible Galaxy
+- To directly install the `nios_modules` collection from [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/infoblox/nios_modules), run the following command:
+    - ```
+       $ ansible-galaxy collection install infoblox.nios_modules
+      ```
+    - The collection folder would be installed at
+      ```
+       ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/infoblox/nios_modules
+      ```
+      
+- For offline installation on the Ansible control machine, download the required tar archive version of the collection from [Infoblox Nios Modules collections](https://galaxy.ansible.com/infoblox/nios_modules) and run the command given below in `~/.ansible` directory:
+    - ```
+      $ ansible-galaxy collection install infoblox-nios_modules-<version>.tar.gz -p ./collections
+      ```
+
+### Installation from GitHub
+- Install the collection directly from the [GitHub](https://github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-ansible) repository using the latest commit on the master branch:
+    - ```
+      $ ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-ansible.git,master
+      ```
+
+- For offline installation on the Ansible control machine, to git clone and install from this repo, follow these steps:
+
+    -   **Clone the repo:**
+
+        ```
+        $ git clone https://github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-ansible.git
+        ```
+
+    -   **Build the collection:**
+
+        To build a collection, run the following command from inside the
+        root directory of the collection:
+        ```
+        $ ansible-galaxy collection build
+        ```
+        This creates a tarball of the built collection in the current directory.
+
+    -   **Install the collection:**
+
+        ```
+        $ ansible-galaxy collection install infoblox-nios_modules-<version>.tar.gz -p ./collections
+        ```

+Playbooks
+=========
+Latest sample playbooks and examples are available at [playbooks](https://github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-ansible/tree/master/playbooks).
+
+
+Releasing
+=========
+
+Next release
+---------------
+
+Dates TBD
+
+Current release
+---------------
+
+1.5.0 on 11 May 2023
+
+Versioning
+=========
+
+-   galaxy.yml in the master branch will always contain the version of the current major or minor release. It will be updated right after a release.
+-   version_added needs to be used for every new feature and module/plugin, and needs to coincide with the next minor/major release version. (This will eventually be enforced by CI.)
+
+Deprecation
+===========
+-   Deprecations are done by version number (not by date).
+-   New deprecations can be added during every minor release, under the condition that they do not break backward compatibility.
