+In the https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter/releases[releases section],

+    $ apt install ./prometheus-nginxlog-exporter_v1.5.0_linux_amd64.deb

+The packages drop a configuration file to `/etc/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter.hcl` which you can
+adjust to your own needs.
