+Installation
+============
+
+Installation is usually as simple as typing
+
+| ``$ sudo yum install rsyslog``,
+| ``$ sudo apt-get install rsyslog``, or
+| ``$ sudo apk add rsyslog``
+
+Unfortunately distributions usually provide rather old versions of
+rsyslog, and so there are chances you want to have something
+newer. To do this easily, we provide :doc:`packages <packages>`
+and :doc:`Docker containers <rsyslog_docker>`.
+
+Alternatively you can build directly from source. That provides most
+flexibility and control over the resulting binaries, but obviously also
+requires most work. Some prior knowledge with building software on
+your system is recommended.
