-**Install with one command**
+**Installation Steps**
+
+Installing a NetBird Peer on Synology will require a few additional steps compared to a typical Linux install despite using the same single line command to get everything going.
+
+1. Ensure your user has administrative privileges. _Control Panel > User & Group > User > Click User and Edit > User Groups > Ensure “administrators” is checked._
+2. Enable SSH Connectivity. _Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP > Terminal > Check the box next to “Enable SSH Service” > Click Apply_
+3. Login to your user using SSH. If you’re unsure if your Synology IP address it can be found under _Control Panel > Info Center > Network > DNS_ or using the [Synology Find Tool](https://finds.synology.com/). Open a terminal and run the command to connecting replacing the user and IP address with your own.
+
+```bash
+ssh user@192.168.0.53
+```
+
+4. Install with one command.
 
 ```bash
 curl -fsSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/install.sh | sh
 ```
 
-For NetBird to work on Synology after a reboot, you need to run this script every time you reboot your NAS. To automate this process, you can create a scheduled task in the Synology DSM.
+5. Add your Synology NAS as a Peer using the steps from [Add peers to your NetBird network](https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/add-machines-to-your-network) in the documentation.
+
+**Reboot Script**
+
+In some cases on Synology, the NetBird service wont have the correct modules loaded on a reboot. In this case you’ll need to run a script every time you reboot your NAS. To automate this process, you can create a scheduled task in the Synology DSM.
+
+1. _Control Panel > Task Scheduler > Create > Triggered Task > User defined script_.
+2. Now you’ll have a _Create Task_ dialog box. Give a task name such as “Netbird Reboot”. Set the _User > Root_ and the _Event > Boot-up_. Make sure the Enable Box is checked.
+3. Next, click on _Task Settings_ and copy/paste the script in the text field under _Run command > User-defined script_.
