+Preface
+-------
+
+Before starting the installation and deployment of O-RAN INF, you need to download the ISO image or build from source as described in developer-guide.
+
+
+Hardware Requirements
+---------------------
+
+Following minimum hardware requirements must be met for installation of O-RAN INF image:
+

+
+Software Installation and Deployment
+------------------------------------
+
+1. Installation from the O-RAN INF ISO image
+````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+- Please see the README.md file for how to build the image.
+- The Image is a live ISO image with CLI installer: oran-image-inf-host-intel-x86-64.iso
+
+1.1 Burn the image to the USB device
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+- Assume the the usb device is /dev/sdX here
+
+::
+
+ $ sudo dd if=/path/to/oran-image-inf-host-intel-x86-64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
+
+1.2 Insert the USB device in the target to be booted.
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+1.3 Reboot the target from the USB device.
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+1.4 Select "Graphics console install" or "Serial console install" and press ENTER
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+1.5 Select the hard disk and press ENTER
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Notes: In this installer, you can only select which hard disk to install, the whole disk will be used and partitioned automatically.
+
+- e.g. insert "sda" and press ENTER
+
+1.6 Remove the USB device and press ENTER to reboot
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+2. Configuration for better real time performance
+`````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+Notes: Some of the tuning options are machine specific or depend on use cases,
+like the hugepages, isolcpus, rcu_nocbs, kthread_cpus, irqaffinity, nohz_full and
+so on, please do not just copy and past.
+
+- Edit the grub.cfg with the following example tuning options
+
+::
+
+ # Notes: the grub.cfg file path is different for legacy and UEFI mode
+ # For legacy mode: /boot/grub/grub.cfg
+ # For UEFI mode: /boot/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg
+
+ grub_cfg="/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
+ #grub_cfg="/boot/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg"
+
+ # In this example, 1-16 cores are isolated for real time processes
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# rt_tuning="crashkernel=auto biosdevname=0 iommu=pt usbcore.autosuspend=-1 nmi_watchdog=0 softlockup_panic=0 intel_iommu=on cgroup_enable=memory skew_tick=1 hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4 default_hugepagesz=1G isolcpus=1-16 rcu_nocbs=1-16 kthread_cpus=0 irqaffinity=0 nohz=on nohz_full=1-16 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=1 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup idle=poll mce=ignore_ce"
+
+ # optional to add the console setting
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# console="console=ttyS0,115200"
+
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# sed -i "/linux / s/$/ $console $rt_tuning/" $grub_cfg
+
+
+- Reboot the target
+
+::
+
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# reboot
+
+3. Kubernetes cluster and plugins deployment instructions (All-in-one)
+``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
+This instruction will show you how to deploy kubernetes cluster and plugins in an all-in-one example scenario after the above installation.
+
+3.1 Change the hostname (Optional)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+::
+
+ # Assuming the hostname is oran-aio, ip address is <aio_host_ip>
+ # please DO NOT copy and paste, use your actaul hostname and ip address
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# echo oran-aio > /etc/hostname
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# export AIO_HOST_IP="<aio_host_ip>"
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# echo "$AIO_HOST_IP oran-aio" >> /etc/hosts
+
+3.2 Disable swap for Kubernetes
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+::
+
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# sed -i '/ swap / s/^\(.*\)$/#\1/g' /etc/fstab
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# systemctl mask dev-sda4.swap
+
+3.3 Set the proxy for docker (Optional)
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+- If you are under a firewall, you may need to set the proxy for docker to pull images
+
+::
+
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# HTTP_PROXY="http://<your_proxy_server_ip>:<port>"
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/
+ root@intel-x86-64:~# cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf
+ [Service]
+ Environment="HTTP_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY" "NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com,$AIO_HOST_IP,10.244.0.0/16"
+ EOF
