===== Regular binary packages (version 2.1) =====

''EDE'' is available in binary form on some distributions. This means that packages exist which can simply be installed using the native package management on these systems. No need for you to compile ''EDE'' yourself if you don't want to.

===== EXPERIMENTAL binary packages (version 2.1) =====

These packages are for testing purposes only. **DO NOT use them on a productive system!** Please provide feedback if you try them out.

||Linux distributions||||
||{{wiki: alpinelinux.png}} || **EXPERIMENTAL** Alpine Linux packages are available for **x86** with the **vanilla kernel**! Download them from the [[http://ede.elderlinux.org/repos/_experimental/alpinelinux/|Alpine Linux repository]].\\ See EDEOnAlpineLinux for instructions.||

===== Old binary packages (version 2.0) =====

Sometimes it can be handy to have packages for older releases of some distribution. For that reason we try to keep those available. Of course it doesn't make sense to keep old packages for rolling release distributions.

||Linux distributions||||
||{{wiki: slackware.png}} || Old packages for **i486** and **x86_64** on Slackware **14.0** are available from our [[http://ede.elderlinux.org/repos/slackware/|Slackware repository]].\\ See EDEOnSlackware for instructions.||

||{{wiki: openbsd.png}} || %%OpenBSD%% (5.4) packages EDE (2.0) for **i386**, **amd64**, **hppa**, **mips64**, **powerpc** and **sparc64** as well as (5.5) **mips64el**!\\ Get it from [[http://openbsd.net/ftp.html#http|any official mirror]] or from our [[http://ede.elderlinux.org/repos/openbsd/|OpenBSD repository]].
