# Better Stack Ubuntu logging


## Start logging in 2 minutes

Collect logs and metrics from your Ubuntu server using Vector.

Install and configure [Vector](https://vector.dev/) on Ubuntu:

```bash
[label Set up Vector]
curl -sSL https://telemetry.betterstack.com/setup-vector/ubuntu/$SOURCE_TOKEN \
  -o /tmp/setup-vector.sh && \
  bash /tmp/setup-vector.sh
```

[info]
**Curious about what the script does?**

- Installs Vector using official package.
- Configures Vector for your Better Stack source.
- Enables and restarts Vector.

The script will ask for confirmation before making any changes.

You should see your logs in [Better Stack → Live tail](https://telemetry.betterstack.com/team/0/tail ";_blank").
