-## Install a specific version of SkyWalking & Elasticsearch
-
-In theory, you can deploy all versions of SkyWalking that are >= 6.0.0-GA, by specifying the desired `oap.image.tag`/`ui.image.tag`.
-
-Please note that some configurations that are added in the later versions of SkyWalking may not work in earlier versions, and thus if you
-specify those configurations, they may take no effect.
-
-here are some examples.

-- Deploy SkyWalking 9.2.0 & Elasticsearch 6.8.6

-**Note**: because SkyWalking OAP used 2 different Docker images for ElasticSearch 7 and ElasticSearch 6 in versions
-prior to 8.8.0, you have to set the right image tag for the corresponding ElasticSearch version.
+This is needed **only** when you want to install source codes.
