+2. Install Prometheus
+	
+	* create required user:
+		sudo useradd -M -s /bin/fals prometheus
+		
+	* create required folders:
+		sudo mkdir /etc/prometheus
+		sudo mkdir /var/lib/prometheus
+
+		sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /etc/prometheus
+		sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /var/lib/prometheus
+	
+	* download and extract:
+	
+		curl -LO https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v2.6.1/prometheus-2.6.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+		tar xvf prometheus-2.6.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+			
+	* copy files and change premissions:
+		sudo cp prometheus-2.6.1.linux-amd64/prometheus /usr/local/bin/
+		sudo cp prometheus-2.6.1.linux-amd64/promtool /usr/local/bin/
+
+		sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /usr/local/bin/prometheus
+		sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /usr/local/bin/promtool
+
+		sudo cp -r prometheus-2.6.1.linux-amd64/consoles /etc/prometheus
