 MariaDB Galera Cluster - Source Installation
 =============================================
 
-MariaDB Galera Cluster is the MariaDB implementation of Galera Cluster for MySQL. Binary installation packages are available for Debian- and RPM-based distributions of Linux. If your Linux distribution is based on a different package management system, or if it runs on a different unix-like operating system where binary installation packages are not available, such as Solaris or FreeBSD, you will need to build MariaDB Galera Cluster from source.

 .. note:: If you built MariaDB Galera Cluster over an existing standalone instance of MariaDB, there are some additional steps that you need to take in order to update your system to the new database server. For more information, see :doc:`Migration <../training/tutorials/migration>`.

 Galera Cluster is essentially used to form a cluster among multiple database servers. It is widely used in conjunction with MySQL, MariaDB, and XtraDB database software systems. Galera Cluster is integral to these database systems. As a result, it may be installed together with one of them.
 
+.. note:: FreeBSD is only available up to Galera Cluster for MySQL 5.7, not on 8.0 or later. As far as MariaDB is concerned, you can try the MariaDB port variants for FreeBSD, as the ``wsrep`` library actually runs on FreeBSD, but Codership does not maintain the patches for FreeBSD.

 There are several methods available for installing the paired systems: you may use binary installation packages or install with the source files. Below is a list of the various pairs and links to how to use whichever method your prefer:
