## Download Everest

Most users will want to get the most recent release. If for some reason you require an older release, it may be in the release archive, which contains all deprecated releases.

Try not to use old releases. Many components of the system will be severely outdated and prone to security holes.

ALWAYS verify checksums of system images. If you download a system image, and the checksums do not match, do not use the system image.

There are multiple ways of getting Everest:

## HTTPS

## BitTorrent

<warnhead>WARNING:</warnhead>

The use of BitTorrent is illegal in some regions. Please ensure you are abiding by local jurisdiction when accessing BitTorrent.

Everest Linux assumes no responsibility for illegal BitTorrent access.

If using a web seed capable client, please leave it open once finished, in order to seed back.

## wget

If you want to quickly download a system image, you can use wget.

`(user)$ wget https://git.everestlinux.org/EverestLinux/everest/raw/branch/main/releases/SYSTEM_IMAGE`
