# Installation
-## Automatic installation
-
-Before you start, make sure you have `zlib` development files installed.
-
-You also need to have a basic build environment in place. You will need packages like
-`git`, `make`, `gcc`, `autoconf`, `autogen`, `automake`, `pgk-config`, etc.
-
-To install them in debian/ubuntu, you need to run:
-
-```sh
-apt-get install zlib1g-dev gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkg-config
-```
-
-Then do this to install and run netdata:
-
-```sh
-
-# download it
-git clone https://github.com/firehol/netdata.git netdata.git
-cd netdata.git
-
-# build it
-./netdata-installer.sh
-
-```
-
-The script `netdata-installer.sh` will build netdata and install it to your system.
-
-Once the installer completes, the file `/etc/netdata/netdata.conf` will be created.
-You can edit this file to set options. To apply the changes you made, you have to restart netdata.
-
-- You can start netdata by executing it with `/usr/sbin/netdata` (the installer will also start it).
-
-- You can stop netdata by killing it with `killall netdata`.
- You can stop and start netdata at any point. Netdata saves on exit its round robbin
- database to `/var/cache/netdata` so that it will continue from where it stopped the last time.
-
-To access the web site for all graphs, go to:
-
- ```
- http://127.0.0.1:19999/
- ```
-
-You can get the running config file at any time, by accessing `http://127.0.0.1:19999/netdata.conf`.
-
-To start it at boot, just run `/usr/sbin/netdata` from your `/etc/rc.local` or equivalent.
