-This document will guide you through installing the open-source Netdata monitoring Agent on Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and many others, often with one command.
+Netdata is very flexible and can be used to monitor all kinds of infrastructure. Read more about possible [Deployment guides](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/deployment-guides/README.md) to understand what better suites your needs.

-Netdata 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.

-Upon installation completing successfully, you should be able to see the node live in your Netdata Space and live charts
-in the Overview tab. [Read more about the cloud features](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/quickstart/infrastructure.md).
-
-Where you go from here is based on your use case, immediate needs, and experience with monitoring and troubleshooting,

-
-### What's next?
-
-Explore our [general advanced installation options and troubleshooting](#advanced-installation-options-and-troubleshooting), specific options
-for the [single line installer](#install-on-linux-with-one-line-installer), or [other installation methods](#other-installation-methods).
-
-#### Configuration
-
-Discover the recommended way to [configure Netdata's settings or behavior](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md) using our built-in
-`edit-config` script, then apply that knowledge to mission-critical tweaks, such as [changing how long Netdata stores
-metrics](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/store/change-metrics-storage.md).
-
-#### Data collection
-
-If Netdata didn't autodetect all the hardware, containers, services, or applications running on your node, you should
-learn more about [how data collectors work](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/README.md). If there's a [supported
-collector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/COLLECTORS.md) for metrics you need, [configure the collector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/REFERENCE.md)
-or read about its requirements to configure your endpoint to publish metrics in the correct format and endpoint.
-
-#### Alerts & notifications
-
-Netdata comes with hundreds of preconfigured alerts, designed by our monitoring gurus in parallel with our open-source
-community, but you may want to [edit alerts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/REFERENCE.md) or
-[enable notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/enable-notifications.md) to customize your Netdata experience.
-
-#### Make your deployment production ready
-
-Go through our [deployment strategies](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/edit/master/docs/category-overview-pages/deployment-strategies.md),
-for suggested configuration changes for production deployments.
-
-## Install on Linux with one-line installer
-
-The **recommended** way to install Netdata on a Linux node (physical, virtual, container, IoT) is our one-line
-[kickstart script](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md).
-This script automatically installs dependencies and builds Netdata from its source code.
-
-To install, copy the script, paste it into your node's terminal, and hit `Enter` to begin the installation process.
+Upon installation completing successfully, you should be able to see the node live in your Netdata Space and live charts in the Overview tab. [Take a look at our Dashboards and Charts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/category-overview-pages/accessing-netdata-dashboards.md) section to read more about Netdata's features.

-> ### Note
->
-> If you plan to also claim the node to Netdata Cloud, make sure to replace `YOUR_CLAIM_TOKEN` with the claim token of your space, and `YOUR_ROOM_ID` with the ID of the room you are claiming to.
-> You can leave the room id blank to have your node claimed to the default "All nodes" room.
