+# Download and Installation
+
+There are a few different ways to install the RPKI code, depending on what the
+platform on which you're trying to install.
+
+  * On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ("Precise Pangolin"), Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty Tahir"), or Debian 7 ("Wheezy"), you can use Debian binary packages. 
+
+## Simple RPKI Cacha Install
+
+if you want to install a simple RPKI cache to feed routers from a Ubuntu 14.04
+system, here is a one page ten minute recipe.
+
+## install a CA and a cache on a Ubuntu 14.04 with a rootd CA
+
+If you want to install a CA and a cache on a Ubuntu 14.04 with a rootd CA,
+here is a one page hack. It will take less than an hour.
+
+## Try the rrdp testbed CA and RP on Ubuntu Xenial
+
+If you are feeling adventurous and want to try the rrdp testbed CA and RP on
+Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 here is a one page hack. It supports a much simpler root
+CA.
+
+## FreeBSD
+
+On FreeBSD, you can use FreeBSD ports.
+
+## Other Platforms
+
+On all other platforms, or on the above platforms if the pre-packaged versions
+don't suit your needs, you will have to install from source code.
+
+Once you've finished installing the code, you will need to configure it. Since
+CAs are generally also relying parties (if only so that they can check the
+results of their own actions), you will generally want to start by configuring
+the relying party tools, then configure the CA tools if you're planning to use
+them.
