+# Ansible based installation
+
+In the following: we describe how to install Pbench Agent using an ANSIBLE playbook.
+
+:::{note}
+The same Pbench Agent version must be installed on all the test systems that participate in a benchmark run, there is no support for mixed installations.
+:::
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Make sure that you have the ANSIBLE package installed.
+
+2. Install the `pbench.agent` ANSIBLE collection from Ansible Galaxy.
+
+ ```console
+ ansible-galaxy collection install pbench.agent
+ ```
+
+3. Tell ansible where to find these roles.
+
+ ```console
+ export ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=$HOME/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/pbench/agent/roles:$ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH
+ ```
+
+4. Create an inventory file (`~/.config/Inventory/myhosts.inv`) naming the hosts on which you wish to install Pbench Agent and the location of the config file. Example [inventory file](assets/myhosts.inv).
+
+:::{note}
+if you're planning to push performance data to a 0.69 Pbench Server, you need to specify the server's private RSA key. Example [inventory file](assets/0.69_myhosts.inv).
+:::
+
+5. Use the [example playbook](https://github.com/distributed-system-analysis/pbench/blob/main/agent/ansible/playbooks/pbench_agent_install.yml) or reference it to customize your own.
+
+6. Run the playbook.
+
+ ```console
+ ansible-playbook -i ~/.config/Inventory/myhosts.inv pbench_agent_install.yml
+ ```

+# Pbench Agent Container
+
+Pbench Agent is available as container images on [Quay.io](https://quay.io/organization/pbench). This makes Pbench Agent a distro-independent solution and it could also be used in any containerized ecosystem.
+
+**Want to build container images from sources?**  
+Follow [README](https://github.com/distributed-system-analysis/pbench/blob/main/agent/containers/images/README.md)
+
+Running Pbench Agent container is as simple as  
+```console
+podman run quay.io/pbench/pbench-agent-all-centos-8
+```  
+Depending on the use cases one has to run these containers with privileged mode, host network, pid, ipc, mount required volumes, etc.
+
+Example:
+```console
+podman run --name pbench --rm -ti --privileged --ipc=host --net=host --pid=host -e HOST=/host -e NAME=pbench -e IMAGE=quay.io/pbench/pbench-agent-all-centos-8 -v /run:/run -v /var/log:/var/log -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime -v /:/host quay.io/pbench/pbench-agent-all-centos-8
+```
+
+:::{note}
+The volumes and config shown in the command snippet above may vary depending on users needs.
+:::
+
+Possibilities are endless, please give it a try <https://quay.io/organization/pbench>.

 # RPM based installation
+
+The Pbench Agent requires the installation of some generic bits, but it also
+requires some localization. It needs to know where to send the results for
+storage and analysis, and it needs to be able to authenticate to the results
+server.
+
+The generic bits are packaged as an RPM, available from
+[COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ndokos).
+Pbench Agent is built for all major releases of
+Fedora, RHEL, CentOS and openSUSE.
+
+In the following, we describe how to install Pbench Agent using an RPM.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Enable required repos.
+
+	```console
+	dnf copr enable ndokos/pbench-0.72
+	dnf copr enable ndokos/pbench
+	```
+
+    :::{note}
+	- We release Pbench Agent RPMs under the `ndokos` COPR account with repos following the pattern `pbench-<release>`.
+	- There are some RPMs that are shared between versions (e.g. pbench-sysstat). We maintain those in [ndokos/pbench](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ndokos/pbench) repo.
+    - On a RHEL-based system enable the subscription manager and enable the `EPEL` repo.
+	:::
+
+2. Install Pbench Agent package
+
+	```console
+	dnf install pbench-agent
+	```
+
+3. Restart terminal/shell session so that all environment varibales and PATH variables are updated
+
+	or 
+
+	```console
+	source /etc/profile.d/pbench-agent.sh
+	```
