 Installation on Unix-like systems
 =================================
 
-A high-level guide to Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X and Ubuntu.
+.. _install/unix/binary:
 
-This document as well as the INSTALL.Unix document in the official
+Installation using the Apache CouchDB convenience binary packages
+=================================================================
+
+If you are running one of the following operating systems, the easiest way
+to install CouchDB is to use the convenience binary packages:
+
+* CentOS/RHEL 6
+* CentOS/RHEL 7
+* Debian 8 (jessie)
+* Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)
+* Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)
+
+The RedHat-style rpm packages and Debian-style deb pacakges will install
+CouchDB at ``/opt/couchdb`` and ensure CouchDB is run at system startup by the
+appropriate init subsystem (SysV-style initd, upstart, systemd).
+
+The Debian-style deb packages *also* pre-configure CouchDB as a standalone or
+clustered node, prompt for the address to which it will bind, and a password
+for the admin user. Responses to these prompts may be pre-seeded using standard
+debconf tools. Further details are in the `README.Debian`_ file.
+
+.. _README.Debian: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/blob/master/debian/README.Debian
+
+Enabling the Apache CouchDB package repository
+----------------------------------------------
+
+.. highlight:: ini
+
+**RedHat/CentOS**: Place the following text into ``/etc/yum.repos.d/bintray-apache-couchdb-rpm.repo``::
+
+    [bintray--apache-couchdb-rpm]
+    name=bintray--apache-couchdb-rpm
+    baseurl=http://apache.bintray.com/couchdb-rpm/el$releasever/$basearch/
+    gpgcheck=0
+    repo_gpgcheck=0
+    enabled=1
+
+.. highlight:: sh
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu**: Run the command::
+
+    $ echo "deb https://apache.bintray.com/couchdb-deb {distribution} main" \
+    | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
+
+and replace ``{distribution}`` with the appropriate choice for your OS
+version:
+
+* Debian 8: ``jessie``
+* Ubuntu 14.04: ``trusty``
+* Ubuntu 16.04: ``xenial``
+
+Installing the Apache CouchDB packages
+--------------------------------------
+
+**RedHat/CentOS**: Run the command::
+
+    $ sudo yum -y install epel-release && yum install couchdb
+
+**Be sure to complete the** :ref:`First-time Setup <install/setup>` **steps for
+a single node or clustered installation.**
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu**: Run the command::
+
+    $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install couchdb
+
+Debian/Ubuntu installs from binaries will be pre-configured for single node or
+clustered installations. For clusters, multiple nodes will still need to be
+joined together; **follow the**
+:ref:`Cluster Setup Wizard <cluster/setup/wizard>` **steps** to complete the
+process.
+
+Relax! CouchDB is installed and running.
