== Getting Buildroot
Buildroot releases are made every 3 months, in February, May, August and
November. Release numbers are in the format YYYY.MM, so for example
2013.02, 2014.08.
Release tarballs are available at https://buildroot.org/downloads/[].
For your convenience, a https://www.vagrantup.com/[Vagrantfile] is
available in `support/misc/Vagrantfile` in the Buildroot source tree
to quickly set up a virtual machine with the needed dependencies to
get started.
If you want to set up an isolated Buildroot environment on Linux or Mac
OS X, paste this line into your terminal:
----
curl -O https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile; vagrant up
----
If you are on Windows, paste this into your PowerShell:
----
(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(
"https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile","Vagrantfile");
vagrant up
----
If you want to follow development, you can use the daily snapshots or
make a clone of the Git repository. Refer to the
https://buildroot.org/download.html[Download page] of the Buildroot website
for more details.
