+# Install Netdata with .deb/.rpm packages
+
+![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/gui/images/packaging-beta-tag.svg?sanitize=true)
+
+Netdata provides our own flavour of binary packages for the most common operating systems that use with `.deb` and
+`.rpm` packaging formats.
+
+We provide two separate repositories, one for our stable releases and one for our nightly releases. Visit the repository
+pages and follow the quick set-up instructions to get started.
+
+1. Stable releases: Our stable production releases are hosted in the
+ [netdata/netdata](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata) repository on packagecloud
+2. Nightly releases: Our latest releases are hosted in the
+ [netdata/netdata-edge](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata-edge) repository on packagecloud
+
+## Using caching proxies with packagecloud repositories
+
+packagecloud only provides HTTPS access to repositories they host, which means in turn that Netdata's package
+repositories are only accessible via HTTPS. This is known to cause issues with some setups that use a caching proxy for
+package downloads.
+
+If you are using such a setup, there are a couple of ways to work around this:
+
+- Configure your proxy to automatically pass through HTTPS connections without caching them. This is the simplest
+ solution, but means that downloads of Netdata packages will not be cached.
+- Mirror the repository locally on your proxy system, and use that mirror when installing on other systems. This
+ requires more setup and more disk space on the caching host, but it lets you cache the packages locally.
+- Some specific caching proxies may have alternative configuration options to deal with these issues. Find
+ such options in their documentation.
+
+## What's next?
+
+When you're finished with installation, check out our [single-node](/docs/quickstart/single-node.md) or
+[infrastructure](/docs/quickstart/infrastructure.md) monitoring quickstart guides based on your use case.
+
+Or, skip straight to [configuring the Netdata Agent](/docs/configure/nodes.md).
+
+Read through Netdata's [documentation](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs), which is structured based on actions and
+solutions, to enable features like health monitoring, alarm notifications, long-term metrics storage, exporting to
+external databases, and more.
