+Arvados components run on GNU/Linux systems, and do not depend on any particular cloud operating stack. It is developed primarily on Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
 
-h2. Installation Overview
+Arvados components can be installed and configured in a number of different ways. Step-by-step instructions are available for a few specific installation methods: 
+* "Install pre-built docker images":pre-built-docker.html *(quickest)*
+* "Build your own docker images":install-docker.html (from source)
+* "Manual installation":install-manual-prerequisites.html (most flexible)
 
-# 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 local evaluation and testing on a single computer, use one of the docker installation methods.
+
+For production use or evaluation at scale, the "manual installation":install-manual-prerequisites.html is more appropriate. This method assumes you have a number of (virtual) machines at your disposal for running the various Arvados components.
