+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Orthanc is available as offical `Debian 
+<https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=orthanc&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all>`__
+and `Ubuntu 
+<https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=orthanc&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all>`__
+packages.  Most of the official plugins are also available as separate packages.
+
+Note that the installed versions depend on the OS version.  If you absolutely need 
+the latest Orthanc version, you should:
+
+* Use the latest `unstable Debian release <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable>`__.
+
+* Use the `LSB binaries <https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/>`__.
+
+* Use :ref:`Docker <docker>`.
+
+* :ref:`Compile Orthanc by yourself <compiling>`.
+
+* Advanced users: :ref:`replace the binaries from the package by the LSB binaries <replace-binaries>`.
+

+
+Replacing the package from the service by the LSB binaries
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. _replace-binaries:
+
+If you're stuck with an old version of Orthanc, you may try to
+replace the binaries by the LSB binaries.  Note that there might
+be some inconsistencies between the plugins version and you should 
+do that at your own risk.
+
+This can be done with this sequence of commands::
+
+  $ sudo service orthanc stop
+  $ sudo wget https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/1.8.0/Orthanc --output-document /usr/sbin/Orthanc
+  $ sudo rm -f /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/*.so
+  $ sudo wget https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/1.8.0/libServeFolders.so --output-document /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/libServeFolders.so
+  $ sudo wget https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/1.8.0/libModalityWorklists.so --output-document /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/libModalityWorklists.so
+  $
+  $ sudo wget https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/plugin-dicom-web/1.3/libOrthancDicomWeb.so --output-document /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/libOrthancDicomWeb.so
+  $ ...
+  $ sudo service orthanc restart
+
