-For Ubuntu, we only provide packages for Wily Werewolf (15.10) and Vivid Vervet (15.04). This is the recommended method of installing Bitmask. If installed as a package, Bitmask will run faster, be better integrated in the system, and will be kept up to date.
+There are two ways to install bitmask on Ubuntu, via packages and via bundles. If you are comfortable with the command line, we recommend using packages when available, otherwise use the bundle.

If you want to try, we recommend attempting to use the bundle (see below), or have a look at [[building it from source => https://leap.se/en/docs/get-involved/source]].
