There are multiple ways to download and use Archivematica 0.6-alpha.
 
 
 
==Virtual appliance==
 
 
 
1. What is a [[wikipedia:Virtual appliance|virtual appliance]]?
 
 
 
2. Download your preferred virtual appliance format:
 
 
 
* [http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox]: [link]
 
* [http://www.vmware.com/index.html VMware]: [link]
 
* [http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page KVM]: [http://archivematica.org/download/archivematica-0.6-100519.qcow2 archivematica-0.6-100519.qcow2] (2.8 GB)
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
==Live USB key==
 
 
 
1. Download this .raw file:  [http://www.archivematica.org/download/archivematica-0.6-100519.raw archivematica-0.6-100519.raw] (3.7 GB)
 
 
 
2. Use it to create a Live USB key: [[Build a Live USB disk]]
 
 
 
3. See these instructions for getting started with the Live USB key: [[Use the Live USB]]
 
 
 
The advantage of the Live USB over the Live DVD is that it can save data and session information to the USB key for re-use in future sessions, whereas the Live DVD is read-only.
 
 
 
==Live DVD==
 
 
 
1. Download this .iso file: [archivematica-0.6-100519.iso]
 
 
 
2. See [[Live DVD|these instructions]] for getting started with the Live DVD.
 
 
 
==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.
 
 
 
Please post a message to the [http://groups.google.ca/group/archivematica discussion list] or join the developers in the [[Chat room]] to get some assistance with this method.
