+
+# Installing Netdata using native DEB or RPM packages.
+
+For most common Linux distributions that use either DEB or RPM packages, Netdata provides pre-built native packages
+for current releases in-line with
+our [official platform support policy](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/PLATFORM_SUPPORT.md).
+These packages will be used by default when attempting to install on a supported platform using our
+[kickstart.sh installer script](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md).
+
+When using the kickstart script, you can force usage of native DEB or RPM packages by passing the option
+`--native-only` when invoking the script. This will cause it to only attempt to use native packages for the install,
+and fail if it cannot do so.
+
+## Manual setup of RPM packages.
+
+Netdata’s official RPM repositories are hosted at https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos. We provide four groups of
+repositories at that top level:
+
+- `stable`: Contains packages for stable releases of the Netdata Agent.
+- `edge`: Contains packages for nightly builds of the Netdata Agent.
+- `repoconfig`: Provides packages that set up configuration files for using the other repositories.
+- `devel`: Is used for one-off development builds of the Netdata Agent, and can simply be ignored by users.
+
+Within each top level group of repositories, there are directories for each supported group of distributions:
+
+- `el`: Is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and binary compatible distros, such as CentOS, Alma Linux, and Rocky Linux.
+- `fedora`: Is for Fedora and binary compatible distros.
+- `ol`: Is for Oracle Linux and binary compatible distros.
+- `opensuse`: Is for openSUSE and binary compatible distros.
+
+Under each of those directories is a directory for each supported release of that distribution, and under that a
+directory for each supported CPU architecture which contains the actual repository.
+
+For example, for stable release packages for RHEL 9 on 64-bit x86, the full URL for the repository would be
+https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/stable/el/9/x86\_64/
+
+Our RPM packages and repository metadata are signed using a GPG key with a user name of ‘Netdatabot’. The
+current key fingerprint is `6588FDD7B14721FE7C3115E6F9177B5265F56346`. The associated public key can be fetched from
+`https://repo.netdata.cloud/netdatabot.gpg.key`.
+
+If you are explicitly configuring a system to use our repositories, the recommended setup is to download the
+appropriate repository configuration package from https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/repoconfig and install it
+directly on the target system using the system package manager. This will ensure any packages needed to use the
+repository are also installed, and will help enable a seamless transition if we ever need to change our infrastructure.
+
+## Manual setup of DEB packages.
+
+Netdata’s official DEB repositories are hosted at https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos. We provide four groups of
+repositories at that top level:
+
+- `stable`: Contains packages for stable releases of the Netdata Agent.
+- `edge`: Contains packages for nightly builds of the Netdata Agent.
+- `repoconfig`: Provides packages that set up configuration files for using the other repositories.
+- `devel`: Is used for one-off development builds of the Netdata Agent, and can simply be ignored by users.
+
+Within each top level group of repositories, there are directories for each supported group of distributions:
+
+- `debian`: Is for Debian Linux and binary compatible distros.
+- `ubuntu`: Is for Ubuntu Linux and binary compatible distros.
+
+Under each of these directories is a directory for each supported release, corresponding to the release codename.
+
+These repositories are set up as what Debian calls ‘flat repositories’, and are available via both HTTP and HTTPS.
+
+As a result of this structure, the required APT sources entry for stable packages for Debian 11 (Bullseye) is:
+
+```
+deb http://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/stable/debian/ bullseye/
+```
+
+Note the `/` at the end of the codename, this is required for the repository to be processed correctly.
+
+Our DEB packages and repository metadata are signed using a GPG key with a user name of ‘Netdatabot’. The
+current key fingerprint is `6588FDD7B14721FE7C3115E6F9177B5265F56346`. The associated public key can be fetched from
+`https://repo.netdata.cloud/netdatabot.gpg.key`.
+
+If you are explicitly configuring a system to use our repositories, the recommended setup is to download the
+appropriate repository configuration package from https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/repoconfig and install it
+directly on the target system using the system package manager. This will ensure any packages needed to use the
+repository are also installed, and will help enable a seamless transition if we ever need to change our infrastructure.
