+The easiest way to get started with Swarm is to use the

+
+###2 - Alternative: Download and install from source.
+Alternatively, you can download and install from source instead of using the
+Docker image.

 Ensure you have golang and git client installed (e.g. `apt-get install golang git` on Ubuntu).
 You may need to set `$GOPATH`, e.g `mkdir ~/gocode; export GOPATH=~/gocode`.

 go get -u github.com/docker/swarm
