 This section provides a brief overview of how the Broadband Platform can be installed on your local Linux or Mac OS X computer. It covers the Easy Installation method, where users download and run a shell script that downloads the other components based on user responses.
-Users can also set up the Broadband Platform manually on their systems using the old installation instructions described in the [[Broadband_Platform_Manual_Installation_16_5_0]] page, although this approach takes several manual or interactive steps.

 Starting with this version of the Broadband Platform, we provide an easy installation script that can guide users through downloading and installing the Broadband Platform on a Linux or Mac OS X computer that meets the system requirements for the Broadband Platform. For this method, users need to download the from the following location:
