10 Download a gzip compressed archive |
|
11 ---------------------------------- |
|
12 vmm could be downloaded from the `download page`_ at `SourceForge`_. To |
|
13 extract the downloaded archive use ``tar xzf vmm-0.6.0.tar.gz``. This will |
|
14 create the new directory :file:`vmm-0.6.0` in the current working directory. |
|
15 |
|
16 Verify the downloaded archive |
|
17 ----------------------------- |
|
18 If you have downloaded the archive from the download site you can |
|
19 optionally verify the integrity_ of this archive. |
|
20 In order to verify the integrity of the archive you have to download the |
|
21 corresponding signature file (:file:`vmm-0.6.0.tar.gz.sig`) too. |
|
22 The signature can be verified using GPG_ or PGP_. |
|
23 For example to check the signature of the archive :file:`vmm-0.6.0.tar.gz` |
|
24 you can execute this command ``gpg --verify vmm-0.6.0.tar.gz.sig``. |
|
25 |
|
26 The tarball was signed by Pascal Volk (ID: CEC0904E). |
|
27 You can fetch the public key from a key server using the command |
|
28 ``gpg --recv-keys 0xCEC0904E``. |

|
30 Get vmm from the Mercurial repository |
|
31 ------------------------------------- |
|
32 To get a tagged clone of the current vmm release from the Mercurial_ |
|
33 repository use: |
|
34 ``hg clone http://hg.localdomain.org/vmm/ -r vmm-0.6.0 vmm-0.6.0``. |
|
35 This will put the files into the new created directory :file:`vmm-0.6.0`. |
|
36 |
|
37 When you omit the ``-r vmm-0.6.0`` option, you will get the latest changes |
|
38 from the `vmm repository`_. This code may work for you or not. |
