{pve} ships as a set of Debian packages, so you can simply install it
on top of a normal Debian installation, or download the installation
CD-ROM and use that to install {pve} on your hardware.
Installing on top of an existing Debian installation looks easy, but
it presumes that you have correctly installed the base system, and you
know how you want to configure and use the local storage. Network
configuration is also completely up to you.

{pve} is based on Debian and comes with an installation CD-ROM
which includes a complete Debian ("jessie" for Proxmox VE 4.x) system as

within a few minutes. This is the preferred and recommended installation method.
* Complete operating system (Debian Linux, 64-bit)
* Partition the hard drive with ext4 (alternative ext3 or xfs) or ZFS
* {pve} Kernel with LXC and KVM support
* Complete toolset
* Web based management interface
Alternatively, Proxmox VE can be installed on top of an existing Debian system.
This option is only recommended for advanced users since detail knowledge about
Proxmox VE is necessary.
