-#### Create a manifest to deploy Defender for Endpoint by configuring repositories manually

-Defender for Endpoint on Linux can be deployed from one of the following channels:
-
-- *insiders-fast*, denoted as `[channel]`
-- *insiders-slow*, denoted as `[channel]`
-- *prod*, denoted as `[channel]` using the version name (see [Linux Software Repository for Microsoft Products](/linux/packages))
-
-Each channel corresponds to a Linux software repository.
+>[!NOTE]
+>Installer script also supports other parameters such as channel, realtime protection, version, etc. To select from the list of available options, check help.
+>`./mde_installer.sh --help`
 
-The choice of the channel determines the type and frequency of updates that are offered to your device. Devices in *insiders-fast* are the first ones to receive updates and new features, followed later by *insiders-slow*, and lastly by *prod*.
-
-In order to preview new features and provide early feedback, we recommend that you configure some devices in your enterprise to use either *insiders-fast* or *insiders-slow*.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Switching the channel after the initial installation requires the product to be reinstalled. To switch the product channel: uninstall the existing package, re-configure your device to use the new channel, and follow the steps in this document to install the package from the new location.

-Note your distribution and version and identify the closest entry for it under `https://packages.microsoft.com/config/[distro]/`.

-In the below commands, replace *[distro]* and *[version]* with the information you've identified:
