docs: remove installation section from getting-started

Users reading in-app docs already have NOMAD installed. Remove
install instructions, system requirements, and security/privacy
sections that duplicate the README. Start directly with Easy Setup.

# Getting Started with N.O.M.A.D.
This guide will help you install and set up your N.O.M.A.D. server.
This guide will help you get the most out of your N.O.M.A.D. server.
---
## Installation
### System Requirements
N.O.M.A.D. runs on any **Debian-based Linux** system (Ubuntu recommended). The installation is terminal-based, and everything is accessed through a web browser — no desktop environment needed.
**Recommended Specs:**
- AMD Ryzen 7 / Intel Core i7 or better
- 32 GB RAM
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD equivalent or better (more VRAM = larger AI models)
- 500 GB+ SSD
- Internet connection (for initial install and content downloads)
NOMAD is designed for robust hardware that can run local AI models, store extensive offline libraries, and deliver a full-featured experience. Looking for something more lightweight? Check out [Internet in a Box](https://internet-in-a-box.org/).
### Install N.O.M.A.D.
Open a terminal and run these two commands:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/refs/heads/master/install/install_nomad.sh -o install_nomad.sh
```
```bash
sudo bash install_nomad.sh
```
That's it. Once the install finishes, open a browser and go to:
- **Same machine:** `http://localhost:8080`
- **Other devices on your network:** `http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080`
### About Internet & Privacy
N.O.M.A.D. is designed for offline use. Internet is only needed:
- During initial installation
- When downloading additional content
There is **zero telemetry** — your data stays on your device.
### About Security
N.O.M.A.D. has no built-in authentication — it's designed to be open and accessible. If you expose it on a network, consider using firewall rules to control which ports are accessible.
