-# Uninstalling netdata
-
-## netdata was installed from source (or `kickstart.sh`)
-
-The script `netdata-installer.sh` generates another script called `netdata-uninstaller.sh`.
-
-To uninstall netdata, run:
-
-```
-cd /path/to/netdata.git
-./netdata-uninstaller.sh --force
-```
-
-The uninstaller will ask you to confirm all deletions.
-
-## netdata was installed with `kickstart-static64.sh` package
-
-Stop netdata with one of the following:
-
-- `service netdata stop` (non-systemd systems)
-- `systemctl stop netdata` (systemd systems)
-
-Disable running netdata at startup, with one of the following (based on your distro):
-
-- `rc-update del netdata`
-- `update-rc.d netdata disable`
-- `chkconfig netdata off`
-- `systemctl disable netdata`
-
-Delete the netdata files:
-
-1. `rm -rf /opt/netdata`
-2. `groupdel netdata`
-3. `userdel netdata`
-4. `rm /etc/logrotate.d/netdata`
-5. `rm /etc/systemd/system/netdata.service` or `rm /etc/init.d/netdata`, depending on the distro.

-# Updating netdata after its installation
-
-![image8](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2662304/14253735/536f4580-fa95-11e5-9f7b-99112b31a5d7.gif)
-
-
-We suggest to keep your netdata updated. We are actively developing it and you should always update to the latest version.
-
-The update procedure depends on how you installed it:
-
-## You downloaded it from github using git
-
-### Manual update
-
-The installer `netdata-installer.sh` generates a `netdata-updater.sh` script in the directory you downloaded netdata.
-You can use this script to update your netdata installation with the same options you used to install it in the first place.
-Just run it and it will download and install the latest version of netdata. The same script can be put in a cronjob to update your netdata at regular intervals.
-
-```sh
-# go to the git downloaded directory
-cd /path/to/git/downloaded/netdata
-
-# run the updater
-./netdata-updater.sh
-```
-
-_Netdata will be restarted with the new version._
-
-If you don't have this script (e.g. you deleted the directory where you downloaded netdata), just follow the **[[Installation]]** instructions again. The installer preserves your configuration. You can also update netdata to the latest version by hand, using this:
-
-```sh
-# go to the git downloaded directory
-cd /path/to/git/downloaded/netdata
-
-# download the latest version
-git pull
-
-# rebuild it, install it, run it
-./netdata-installer.sh
-```
-
-_Netdata will be restarted with the new version._
-
-Keep in mind, netdata may now have new features, or certain old features may now behave differently. So pay some attention to it after updating.
-
-### Auto-update
-
-_Please, consider the risks of running an auto-update. Something can always go wrong. Keep an eye on your installation, and run a manual update if something ever fails._
-
-You can call `netdata-updater.sh` from a cron-job. A successful update will not trigger an email from cron.
-
-```sh
-# Edit your cron-jobs
-crontab -e
-
-# add a cron-job at the bottom. This one will update netdata every day at 6:00AM:
-# update netdata
-0 6 * * * /path/to/git/downloaded/netdata/netdata-updater.sh
-```
-
-## You downloaded a binary package
-
-If you installed it from a binary package, the best way is to **obtain a newer copy** from the source you got it in the first place.
-
-If a newer version of netdata is not available from the source you got it, we suggest to uninstall the version you have and follow the **[[Installation]]** instructions for installing a fresh version of netdata.

-## Linux package managers
+Netdata is a **monitoring agent**. It is designed to be installed and run on all your systems: **physical** and **virtual** servers, **containers**, even **IoT**.
-You can install the latest release of netdata, using your package manager in
+The best way to install Netdata is directly from source. Our **automatic installer** will install any required system packages and compile Netdata directly on your systems.
- - Arch Linux (`sudo pacman -S netdata`)
- - Alpine Linux (`sudo apk add netdata`)
- - Debian Linux (`sudo apt install netdata`)
- - Gentoo Linux (`sudo emerge --ask netdata`)
- - OpenSUSE (`sudo zypper install netdata`)
- - Solus Linux (`sudo eopkg install netdata`)
- - Ubuntu Linux >= 18.04 (`sudo apt install netdata`)
+!!! warning
+ You can find Netdata packages distributed by third parties. In many cases, these packages are either too old or broken. So, the suggested ways to install Netdata are the ones in this page.
+ **We are currently working to provide our binary packages for all Linux distros.** Stay tuned...
-Please note that the particular packages are not build by netdata.

##### Synology
-The documentation previously recommended installing the Debian Chroot package from the Synology community package sources and then running netdata from within the chroot. This does not work, as the chroot environment does not have access to `/proc`, and therefore exposes very few metrics to netdata. Additionally, [this issue](https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/issues/2758), still open as of 2018/06/24, indicates that the Debian Chroot package is not suitable for DSM versions greater than version 5 and may corrupt system libraries and render the NAS unable to boot.

The good news is that the 64-bit static installer works fine if your NAS is one that uses the amd64 architecture. It will install the content into `/opt/netdata`, making future removal safe and simple.

+When Netdata is first installed, it will run as _root_. This may or may not be acceptable for you, and since other installations run it as the _netdata_ user, you might wish to do the same. This requires some extra work:
1. Creat a group `netdata` via the Synology group interface. Give it no access to anything.
2. Create a user `netdata` via the Synology user interface. Give it no access to anything and a random password. Assign the user to the `netdata` group. Netdata will chuid to this user when running.
