 Getting started with Skytable involves choosing a mode of installation, downloading any required files and then starting up the database. You can choose to either use:
 
 - [**Native binaries (recommended)**](#native-binaries): This is what is generally recommended for the best performance. You will need to download a bundle and then start the server binary; no expert knowledge required
-- [**Using a Debian package (recommended)**](#debian-package): If you're deploying on Ubuntu or any other Debian based Linux distribution, then consider using this method. Configuration files, users and passwords are autogenerated.

 - [**A Docker image**](#docker-image): We generally recommend using a Docker image for experimenting with Skytable on your local system during development and you want to keep your local system *clean*. If you want to use a Docker image for deployment, you're always free to do so!
   > **Note:** You might experience slightly degraded performance from the storage engine due to Docker engine's abstractions.

 Find the correct `*.deb` file [from the releases page](https://github.com/skytable/skytable/releases). Now simply run:

 ```sh
 sudo dpkg -i <file name>.deb
 ```

 The package will:

 - **Generate a root password:** Watch the terminal output!
 - **Create a `systemd` unit**: So you can start and stop the process using `systemd` like `systemd start skyd`
 - **Generate a configuration**: Your configuration is stored in `/var/lib/skytable/config.yaml`. Go ahead and modify it if you need to!

 2. **Create the data directory**: To ensure that our database is persistent and all our data doesn't vanish as soon as the container is terminated, we'll map the data directory to an actual directory on our local system.
     > **Note:** Create a folder called `skytable` in a convenient location. We recommend having a directory in `$HOME/docker-containers` where you can store the Skytable container's data and any other containers that you might use. It's a great way to keep things organized.
