# 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.

Using a very old release is not recommended because many critical programs (such as the Linux kernel) are severely out of date.

It is for this reason that releases older than 2 years are removed from the archives.

There are multiple ways to get Everest.

## HTTPS

## Bittorrent

Before torrenting, ensure doing so will not get you into trouble with local authorities. The possibility of this happening is small, but not impossible. If you live in the United States, or Europe, this should not be an issue.

Verifying the checksum of a torrented tarball is not required, however it is still recommended to do so.

THe signature ofthe latest tarball should be:

`150dad224cb7e4244046b97170e0e01834ce07445bddb4be7ebc035b68b5221c everestlinux-summit-0.0.1-systemd-rc.tar.xz`

Note: if using a web seed capable torrent client, please leave it open once finished to seed back.

## wget

If you wish to download an Everest tarball through the liveusb, wget allows you to quickly download it through the command line.

The following command will download Everest:

`$ wget https://git.everestlinux.org/EverestLinux/everest/raw/branch/main/releases/everestlinux-X.X.X-master.tar.xz`

Ensure you define which version you want.

## Installing Everest

The Everest installation handbook should give you a pretty good idea of how to set up your installation. It can be found here.
