+<h1>Download</h1>
+<hr>
+
+Paraslash is only available as source code, no binary packages are
+provided at this point. There are several ways to download the source:
+
+<ul>
+	<li> <em> git</em>.
+
+		Clone the git repository by executing
+
+		<pre> <kbd>
+			git clone git://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/paraslash.git
+		</kbd> </pre>
+
+		<p> The repository contains the full history of the
+		project since 2006, all work in progress and the source
+		code for the web pages. Choosing this option allows the
+		checkout of any of the four integration branches maint,
+		master, next, pu (see the
+
+		<a href="manual.html#Git.branches">Git branches</a>
+
+		section of the manual). All previous releases
+		correspond to tagged commits and may be checked out
+		as well. Since development takes place in separate
+		topic branches the master branch is expected to be
+		more stable than any of the released versions. </p>
+
+		<p> Compiling from git requires additional tools,
+		notably the autoconf package must be installed. </p>
+
+	</li>
+
+	<li> <em> regular releases</em>.
+
+		All released versions can be downloaded as compressed
+		tarballs from the
+
+		<a href="releases/">download directory</a>.
+
+		These tarballs are
+
+		<a href="PUBLIC_KEY">cryptographically signed</a>
+
+		and contain a pre-generated configure script. They
+		can be compiled and installed without autoconf.
+
+	</li>
+
+	<li> <em>master tarballs</em>.
+
+		Whenever significant changes are incorporated a
+
+		<a href="releases/paraslash-git.tar.xz">tarball</a>
+
+		of the current master branch is created. All changes in
+		this tarball will be included in the next release. Like
+		for regular releases, a configure script is provided
+		for convenience.
+
+	</li>
+
+	<li> <em>gitweb snapshots</em>.
+
+		The
+
+			<a href="http://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/paraslash.git">gitweb</a>
+
+		page contains a snapshot link for each revision. This
+		allows getting a specific revision without downloading
+		the full history.
+
+	</li>
+</ul>
