You can download the appropriate tarball for your operating system with:

    curl -O -L https://files.radicle.dev/releases/latest/radicle-$TARGET.tar.xz

For Radicle proper, and:

    curl -O -L https://files.radicle.dev/releases/radicle-httpd/latest/radicle-httpd-$TARGET.tar.xz

For Radicle HTTP Daemon.

Replace `$TARGET` with the appropriate target for your system, from the table
above.

## Verification

After you've downloaded the archive (`ARCHIVE.tar.xz` in the examples below),
verify the signature using the `.sig` file and `ssh-keygen`. The output must
match the following, including the respective signing key fingerprint from
the section above. For example:

    $ ssh-keygen -Y check-novalidate -n file -s ARCHIVE.tar.xz.sig < ARCHIVE.tar.xz
    Good "file" signature with ED25519 key SHA256:iTDjRHSIaoL8dpHbQ0mv+y0IQqPufGl2hQwk4TbXFlw

To verify the checksum, download the `.sha256` file, and run:

    $ sha256sum -c ARCHIVE.tar.xz.sha256
    ARCHIVE.tar.xz: OK

The output must correspond to the above.

## Installation

To install, simply extract the files to a location in your `PATH`, for example:

    $ tar -xvJf ARCHIVE.tar.xz --strip-components=1 -C ~/.radicle/

This will place binaries in `~/.radicle/bin` and manuals in `~/.radicle/man`,
and overwrite any existing Radicle binaries.
