+Arvados can be installed in multiple ways. Arvados does not depend on any particular cloud operating stack. Arvados runs on one or more GNU/Linux system(s). Arvados is being developed on Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
-h2. Installation Overview
+The simplest way to try out Arvados is to use the "Docker-based installation":install-docker.html, which installs Arvados in a series of Docker containers.
-# Set up a cluster, or use Amazon
-# Create and mount Keep volumes
-# "Install the Single Sign On (SSO) server":install-sso.html
-# "Install the Arvados REST API server":install-api-server.html
-# "Install the Arvados workbench application":install-workbench-app.html
-# "Install the Crunch dispatcher":install-crunch-dispatch.html
-# "Create standard objects":create-standard-objects.html
-# Install client libraries (see "SDK Reference":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/index.html).
+For production use or evaluation at scale, a "Manual Installation":install-manual-overview.html is more appropriate.
