    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``.
       
    29 
       
    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.
