+### Binary Packages
+![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/gui/images/packaging-beta-tag.svg?sanitize=true)
+
+We provide our own flavour of binary packages for the most common operating systems that comply with .RPM and .DEB packaging formats.
+
+We have currently released .RPM versions with version [1.16.0](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.16.0). We are planning to release packages following the .DEB format on one of the following releases. Our current packaging infrastructure provider is [Package Cloud](https://packagecloud.io).
+
+Netdata is committed to support installation of our solution to all operating systems. This is a constant battle for Netdata, as we strive to automate and make things easier for our users. For the operating system support matrix, please visit our [distributions](../DISTRIBUTIONS.md) support page. 
+
+We provide two separate repositories, one for our stable releases and one for our nightly releases.
+
+1. Stable releases: Our stable production releases are hosted in [netdata/netdata](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata) repository of package cloud
+2. Nightly releases: Our latest releases are hosted in [netdata/netdata-edge](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata-edge) repository of package cloud
+
+Visit the repository pages and follow the quick set-up instructions to get started.
