 # Installation
 
-## Choose your release
-LXD upstream maintains different release branches in parallel:
-
- * Long term support (LTS) releases: currently LXD 5.0.x and LXD 4.0.x
- * Feature releases: LXD 5.x
-
-LTS releases are recommended for production environments as they will benefit from regular bugfix and security updates but will not see new features added or any kind of behavioral change.
-
-To get all the latest features and monthly updates to LXD, use the feature release branch instead.
-
-## Installing a package
-
-### Linux
-
-The easiest way to install LXD on Linux is to install the [snap package](#snap-package), which is available for different Linux distributions.
-
-If this option does not work for you, see the [other installation options](#other-installation-options).
-
-#### Snap package
-LXD upstream publishes and tests [snap packages](https://snapcraft.io/lxd) that work for a number of Linux distributions, for example, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE.
-
-Complete the following steps to install the snap:
-
-1. Check the [provided distributions](https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/job/lxd-test-snap-latest-stable/) to see if a snap is available for your Linux distribution.
-   If it is not, use one of the [other installation options](#other-installation-options).
-
-2. Install `snapd`. See the [installation instructions](https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install) on snapcraft.io.
-
-3. Install the snap package.
-   For the latest feature release, use:
-
-        sudo snap install lxd
-   For the LXD 5.0 LTS release, use:
-
-        sudo snap install lxd --channel=5.0/stable
-
-For more information about LXD snap packages (regarding more versions, update management etc.), see [Managing the LXD snap](https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/managing-the-lxd-snap/8178).
-
-!!! note
-    On Ubuntu 18.04, if you previously had the LXD deb package installed, you can migrate all your existing data over with:
-
-        sudo lxd.migrate
-
-#### Other installation options
-
-Some Linux distributions provide installation options other than the snap package.

-
-=== "Windows"
-
-    The LXD client on Windows is provided as a [Chocolatey](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/lxc) package. To install it:

-## Installing from source
-To build and install LXD from source, follow the instructions in [Installing LXD from source](/lxd/docs/latest/installing#installing-lxd-from-source).
+To install LXD, follow the instructions in [How to install LXD](/lxd/docs/latest/installing).
 
 # Initial configuration
 
 Before you can create a LXD instance (a container or a virtual machine), you must configure LXD.
 
 See [How to initialize LXD](/lxd/docs/latest/howto/initialize/) for instructions.
 
-# Security and access control
-Access control for LXD is based on group membership. The root user and all members of the `lxd` group can interact with the local daemon.
-
-If the `lxd` group is missing on your system, create it and restart the LXD daemon. You can then add trusted users to the group. Anyone added to this group will have full control over LXD.
-
-Because group membership is normally only applied at login, you might need to either re-open your user session or use the `newgrp lxd` command in the shell you're using to talk to LXD.
-
-!!! warning
-	Anyone with access to the LXD socket can fully control LXD, which includes the ability to attach host devices and file systems. Therefore, you should only give access to users who would be trusted with root access to the host.
-
-    You can learn more about LXD security [here](/lxd/docs/latest/security).
-
 # Firewall issues
 
 You might see issues with your firewall blocking network access for your instances, or connectivity issues because you run LXD and Docker on the same host.
