+# Ansible Install
+
+[Zorlin](https://github.com/Zorlin) has developed and now maintains [an Ansible playbook](https://github.com/Zorlin/scrutiny-playbook) which automates the steps involved in manually setting up Scrutiny.
+
+Using it is simple:
+
+* Grab a copy of the playbook
+* Follow the directions in the playbook repository
+* Run `ansible-playbook site.yml`
+* Visit http://your-machine:8080 to see your new Scrutiny installation.
+
+It will automatically pull metrics from machines once a day, at 1am.
+
+You can see it in action below.

 Scrutiny is made up of two components: a collector and a webapp/api. Here's how each component can be deployed manually.
