 #### Obtaining The Software
+
+##### Bootstrap with `solana-install`
+
+The `solana-install` tool can be used to easily install and upgrade the cluster
+software on Linux x86_64 systems.
+
+Install the latest release with a single shell command:
+```bash
+$ curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/v0.13.0/install/solana-install-init.sh | \
+  sh -c - --url https://api.beta.testnet.solana.com
+```
+
+Alternatively build the `solana-install` program from source and run the
+following command to obtain the same result:
+```bash
+$ solana-install init --url https://api.beta.testnet.solana.com
+```
+
+After a successful install, `solana-install update` may be used to easily update the cluster
+software to a newer version.
