## Getting a Binary Release
|
|
|
|
You can either build a release from sources or download a pre-built release. If you don't plan on developing Kubernetes itself, we suggest a pre-built release.
|
|
|
|
### Prebuilt Binary Release
|
|
|
|
Soon, we will have a list of numbered and nightly releases. Until then, you can download a development release/snapshot from [here](http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-releases-56726/devel/kubernetes.tar.gz).
|
|
|
|
Unpack this tar file on Linux or OS X. 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.
|
|
|
|
**TODO:** Change this to suggest using a numbered release once we have one with the new build scripts.
|
|
|
|
Building a release is simple.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes.git
|
|
cd kubernetes
|
|
build/release.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more details on the release process see the [`build/` directory](../../build)
