+Introduction
+------------
+The Congress service is automatically configured as required by the JOID and
+Apex installers, including creation of datasources per the installed datasource
+drivers. This release includes default support for the following datasource drivers:
+
+  * nova
+  * neutronv2
+  * ceilometer
+  * cinder
+  * glancev2
+  * keystone
+
+For JOID, Congress is installed through a JuJu Charm, and for Apex through a
+Puppet Module. Both the Charm and Module are being upstreamed to OpenStack for
+future maintenance.
+
+Other project installer support (e.g. Doctor) may install additional datasource
+drivers once Congress is installed.
+
+Manual Installation
+-------------------
+
+NOTE: This section describes a manual install procedure that had been tested
+under the JOID and Apex base installs prior to the integration of native
+installer support through JuJu (JOID) and Puppet (Apex). This procedure is being
+maintained as a basis for additional installer support in future releases.
+However, since Congress is pre-installed for JOID and Apex, this procedure is not
+necessary and not recommended for use if Congress is already installed.
+
+Copper provides a set of bash scripts to automatically install Congress based
+upon a JOID or Apex install which does not already have Congress installed.
+These scripts are in the Copper repo at:
+
+  * components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_1.sh
+  * components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_2.sh
+
+Prerequisites to using these scripts:
+
+  * OPFNV installed via JOID or Apex
+  * For Apex installs, on the jumphost, ssh to the undercloud VM and "su stack".
+  * For JOID installs, admin-openrc.sh saved from Horizon to ~/admin-openrc.sh
+  * Retrieve the copper install script as below, optionally specifying the branch
+    to use as a URL parameter, e.g. ?h=stable%2Fbrahmaputra
+
+To invoke the procedure, enter the following shell commands, optionally
+specifying the branch identifier to use for OpenStack.
+
+.. code::
+
+   cd ~
+   wget https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/copper/plain/components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_1.sh
+   wget https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/copper/plain/components/congress/install/bash/install_congress_2.sh
+   bash install_congress_1.sh [openstack-branch]
