                         <h1><b>Setting up the Server</b></h1>
 
                         First you want to set up your central monitoring server. For ease of use and better performance we are going to colocate the prometheus collector along with grafana.

+                        <h2>Required installation</h2>
+
+                        To get started we need the following software on the machine:
+                        <br>
+                        <ul>
+                            <li>Tor: anonymize traffic</li>
+                            <li>prometheus: aggregate metrics</li>
+                            <li>prometheus-node-exporter: export local server metrics</li>
+                            <li>docker: to run grafana</li>
+                        </ul>
+                        <img src="install.png"/>
+
 
                         <h2>Tor Configuration</h2>
                         The prometheus collector will only be accessed locally by grafana so it doesn't need to be accessible over tor. Grafana, on the other hand, does.
