certainly want the docs that go with that version.</h1>

## Getting a Binary Release
You can either build a release from sources or download a pre-built release. If you do not plan on developing Kubernetes itself, we suggest a pre-built release.
### Prebuilt Binary Release
The list of binary releases is available for download from the [GitHub Kubernetes repo release page](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/releases).
Download the latest release and unpack this tar file on Linux or OS X, cd to the created `kubernetes/` directory, and then follow the getting started guide for your cloud.
### Building from source
Get the Kubernetes source. If you are simply building a release from source there is no need to set up a full golang environment as all building happens in a Docker container.
Building a release is simple.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes.git
cd kubernetes
make release
```
For more details on the release process see the [`build/` directory](../../build/)
