-tutorial to deploy Alerta to an Ubuntu server. More advanced
-configurations are out os scope of this tutorial but information
-about different deployment scenarios can be found in the [docs][3].
+You can install Alerta in several ways:
+- **Docker**: Alerta provides a [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/alerta/alerta-web/) to get you started quickly.
+- **Deployment on Ubuntu server**: Alerta's [getting started tutorial](https://docs.alerta.io/gettingstarted/tutorial-1-deploy-alerta.html) walks you through this process.
+- **Advanced deployment scenarios**: More ways to install and deploy Alerta are documented on the [Alerta docs](http://docs.alerta.io/en/latest/deployment.html).
