+Using the default configuration, this installation method has a number of limitations:
+
+* all services run on the same machine, and they will compete for resources. This includes any compute jobs.
+* it uses the local machine disk for Keep storage (under the @/tmp@ directory). There may not be a lot of space available.
+* it installs the @crunch-dispatch-local@ dispatcher, which can run just eight concurrent CWL jobs. These jobs will be executed on the same machine that runs all the Arvados services and may well starve them of resources.
+
+It is possible to start with the single host installation method and modify the Arvados configuration file later to address these limitations. E.g. switch to a "different storage volume setup":{{site.baseurl}}/install/configure-s3-object-storage.html for Keep, and switch to "the cloud dispatcher":{{site.baseurl}}/install/crunch2-cloud/install-dispatch-cloud.html to provision compute resources dynamically.

+h2(#prerequisites). Prerequisites and planning
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+* git
+* a dedicated (virtual) machine for your Arvados server with at least 2 cores and 8 GiB of RAM, running a "supported Arvados distribution":{{site.baseurl}}/install/install-manual-prerequisites.html#supportedlinux
+* a DNS hostname that resolves to the IP address of your Arvados server
+* ports 443, 8800-8805 need to be reachable from your client (configurable in @local.params@, see below)
+* port 80 needs to be reachable from everywhere on the internet (only when using "Let's Encrypt":#lets-encrypt)
+* an SSL certificate matching the hostname in use (only when using "bring your own certificate":#bring-your-own)
+
+h2(#single_host). Download the installer
+
+{% include 'branchname' %}
+
+This procedure will install all the main Arvados components to get you up and running in a single host.
+
+This is a package-based installation method, however the installation script is currently distributed in source form via @git@:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>git clone https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git
+git checkout {{ branchname }}
+cd arvados/tools/salt-install
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+The @provision.sh@ script will help you deploy Arvados by preparing your environment to be able to run the installer, then running it. The actual installer is located in the "arvados-formula git repository":https://git.arvados.org/arvados-formula.git/tree/refs/heads/{{ branchname }} and will be cloned during the running of the @provision.sh@ script. The installer is built using "Saltstack":https://saltproject.io/ and @provision.sh@ performs the install using master-less mode.
+
+First, copy the configuration files:
