+# Installation methods
+
+Netdata can be installed:
+
+- [As a DEB/RPM package](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/packages.md)
+- [As a static binary](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/makeself/README.md)
+- [From a git checkout](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/manual.md)
+- [As a docker container](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/docker/README.md)
+
+The [one line installer kickstart.sh](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md)
+picks the most appropriate method out of the first three for any system
+and is the recommended installation method, if you don't use containers.
+
+`kickstart.sh` can also be used for 
+[offline installation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/offline.md),
+suitable for air-gapped systems.
