There are a three primary ways to download and use Archivematica 0.6-alpha.

Virtual appliance

1. What is a virtual appliance?

2. Download your preferred virtual appliance format:

  • VirtualBox [link]
  • VMware [link]
  • Xen [link]

3. If you don't already have a virtual machine player, we recommend VirtualBox. See these Virtual appliance instructions on how to load your Archivematica virtual appliance using VirtualBox.

Bootable USB key

1. Download this .raw file:

[raw file link]

2. Use it to create a bootable USB key:

Build a Live USB disk

3. See these instructions for getting started with the USB key:

Use the Live USB

Bare metal install

If you have hardware that you can dedicate to an Archivematica appliance you can use the .raw file above to do a bare metal install. The .raw file is designed to work in a minimal 4GB demo environment. Once it is installed on dedicated hardware you can use a disk utility to increase the disk partition to take advantage of all the hard disk space available on the machine.
