 ### Installing BETY {#install-bety}
 
-> ⚠️ **Deprecated BETY Installation Page**
->
-> This page documents **legacy, non-Docker installation methods for BETYdb**.
-> These instructions are **no longer recommended for new installations** and
-> are kept **only for users who already depend on manual deployments**.
->
-> **Recommended approach (for new users):**
-> - Use the **Docker-based BETY installation** described in the PEcAn Docker section.
->
-> **Authoritative BETY documentation:**
-> - https://pecan.gitbook.io/betydb-documentation
->
-> If you are installing BETY for the first time, **do not follow the instructions below**.
+BETYdb is the PostgreSQL database used by PEcAn to store traits, inputs,
+and other information required by PEcAn workflows.
 
-## See Also
+For new PEcAn installations, use the
+[Docker installation guide](#install-docker). The Docker workflow installs
+and initializes BETYdb as part of the PEcAn stack.
 
-- PEcAn Docker-based BETY installation (recommended)
-- Official BETYdb documentation: https://pecan.gitbook.io/betydb-documentation
+For a standalone or bare-metal BETYdb installation, see the
+[BETYdb Technical Guide](https://pecanproject.github.io/bety-documentation/technical/).
 
-#### Install Database + Data
-
-* _note_ To install BETYdb without PEcAn, first download the [`load.bety.sh` script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PecanProject/pecan/main/scripts/load.bety.sh)
-
-```sh
-# install database (code assumes password is bety)
-sudo -u postgres createuser -d -l -P -R -S bety
-sudo -u postgres createdb -O bety bety
-sudo -u postgres ./scripts/load.bety.sh -c YES -u YES -r 0
-sudo -u postgres ./scripts/load.bety.sh -r 1
-sudo -u postgres ./scripts/load.bety.sh -r 2
-
-# configure for PEcAn web app (change password if needed)
-cp web/config.example.php web/config.php 
-
-# add models to database (VM only)
-./scripts/add.models.sh
-
-# add data to database
-./scripts/add.data.sh
-
-# create outputs folder
-mkdir ~/output
-chmod 777 ~/output
-```
-
-
-#### Installing BETYdb Web Application
-
-> ⚠️ **Legacy (Deprecated)**
->
-> This section documents **manual PHP and Ruby-based BETYdb web application installations**.
-> These workflows are deprecated and are **not recommended for new installations**.
-> New users should use the **Docker-based BETY deployment** described in the PEcAn Docker section
-> or consult the official BETY documentation:
-> https://pecan.gitbook.io/betydb-documentation
-
-
-There are two flavors of BETY, PHP and RUBY. The PHP version allows for a minimal interaction with the database while the RUBY version allows for full interaction with the database.
-
-##### PHP version
-
-⚠️  This section describes a **deprecated manual installation path**.
->
-> This PHP-based BETYdb web interface is part of a legacy workflow.
-> New installations should use the Docker-based BETY deployment instead.
-
-The php version comes with PEcAn and is already configured.
-
-##### RUBY version
-
-⚠️ This section describes a **deprecated manual installation path**.
->
-> This Ruby-based BETYdb web application setup is a legacy, manual workflow.
-> It is retained for existing deployments and is not recommended for new installations.
-
-The RUBY version requires a few extra packages to be installed first.
-
-Next we install the web app.
-
-```bash
-# install bety
-cd
-git clone https://github.com/PecanProject/bety.git
-
-# install gems
-cd bety
-sudo gem2.0 install bundler
-bundle install --without development:test:javascript_testing:debug
-```
-
-and configure BETY
-
-```bash
-# create folders for upload folders
-mkdir paperclip/files paperclip/file_names
-chmod 777 paperclip/files paperclip/file_names
-
-# create folder for log files
-mkdir log
-touch log/production.log
-chmod 0666 log/production.log
-
-# fix configuration for vm
-cp config/additional_environment_vm.rb config/additional_environment.rb
-chmod go+w public/javascripts/cache/
-
-# setup bety database configuration
-cat > config/database.yml << EOF
-production:
-  adapter: postgis
-  encoding: utf-8
-  reconnect: false
-  database: bety
-  pool: 5
-  username: bety
-  password: bety
-EOF
-
-# setup login tokens
-cat > config/initializers/site_keys.rb << EOF
-REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY         = 'thisisnotasecret'
-REST_AUTH_DIGEST_STRETCHES = 10
-EOF
-```
+The legacy PHP and Ruby/Rails installation instructions previously included
+on this page have been removed because they are outdated and are maintained
+in the BETYdb documentation.
