## Latest release (recommended)
### Download as an archive
Get the latest released version from the [releases](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases) page.

**Download our *shaarli-full* archive** to include dependencies.

The current latest released version is `v0.9.1`

Or in command lines:

```bash
$ wget https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases/download/v0.9.1/shaarli-v0.9.1-full.zip
$ unzip shaarli-v0.9.1-full.zip
$ mv Shaarli /path/to/shaarli/
```

In most cases, download Shaarli from the [releases](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases) page. 
Cloning using `git` or downloading Github branches as zip files requires additional steps (see below).

### Using git

```
$ mkdir -p /path/to/shaarli && cd /path/to/shaarli/
$ git clone -b latest https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli.git .
$ composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist
$ make translate
```

## Stable version

The stable version has been experienced by Shaarli users, and will receive security updates.

### Download as an archive

$ unzip stable.zip
$ mv Shaarli-stable /path/to/shaarli/
