## Start logging in 2 minutes

Collect logs and metrics from your Ubuntu server using Vector.

  -o /tmp/setup-vector.sh && \
  bash /tmp/setup-vector.sh
```

**Curious about what the script does?**

- Installs Vector using official package.
- Configures Vector for your Better Stack source.
- Enables and restarts Vector.

The script will ask for confirmation before making any changes.
