<p>These quickstart guides will provide you with simple instructions on how to install Icinga from source and have it monitoring
your local machine within 20 to 30 minutes. Advanced installation options and configuration are discussed elsewhere.</p>
<p>Links to configuration tools and other addons can be found <a class="link" href="addons.html" title="10.1. Icinga Addons">here</a>.</p>

<p>Instead of installing Icinga from scratch you may want to use a package which might be available for your OS. Please
take a look at the <a class="link" href="https://www.icinga.org/download/packages" target="_top">table of packages</a>.
</p>
<p>If you are planning to install from source then please use the official release tarball.</p>

<p>Besides, a new quick install guide for using the IDOUtils of Icinga is also available enabling you to use an RDBMS
based on MySQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL, respectively.</p>
<p><span class="bold"><strong><a name="guides_quickstart"></a>Guides</strong></span></p>
<p>Quickstart installation guides are currently available for various Linux distributions (most common Fedora, Ubuntu,
openSuSE). Because some distributions are similar you may succeed to use these instructions for RedHat, CentOS,
Debian and SLES as well. Marcel Hecko provided a quickstart quide for FreeBSD.</p>

<p>Please note that sometimes names of packages change between different versions of the same OS so if you don't find the packages
mentioned it might be a good idea to use your favourite search engine to find out the correct name.</p>

<p>The <a class="link" href="quickstart-icinga.html" title="2.4. Icinga Quickstart">Quickstart guide for Linux</a> and <a class="link" href="quickstart-icinga-freebsd.html" title="2.5. Icinga Quickstart FreeBSD">Quickstart guide for FreeBSD</a>, resp., provide you with instructions on how to install
Icinga, basic plugins to check several things and the classical GUI accessible through your web browser. The look and feel is quite
similar to Nagios although the GUI offers some enhancements (extended CSV export, submit commands for a group of objects, etc.).
There is no database involved and all information is stored in flat files. Icinga Web is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> available in this
setup.</p>
<p>Using the <a class="link" href="quickstart-idoutils.html" title="2.6.

Icinga and IDOUtils Quickstart on FreeBSD">Quickstart guide including IDOUtils on FreeBSD</a>, resp., you will get the things
mentioned above plus a database (using MySQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL) to store current and historical information. The
database is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> used to enable configuration via a web interface. There are several <a class="link" href="addons.html" title="10.1. Icinga Addons">addons</a> specialised on this and there are no plans for a builtin tool. The new web interface can be installed when
you use this setup. There are <a class="link" href="icinga-web-scratch.html" title="6.5. Installation of the Icinga Web Frontend">separate instructions</a> on how
to do this after you installed Icinga and IDOUtils.</p>

<p>If you are installing Icinga on an operating system or Linux distribution that isn't listed above, read <a class="link" href="quickstart-icinga.html" title="2.4. Icinga Quickstart">Quickstart guide for Linux</a> for an overview on what you'll need to do.</p>
<p>Command names, paths, etc. vary widely across different Operating Systems/Distributions, so you'll likely need to tweak the
installation docs a bit to work for your particular case.</p>
