Approximately three months prior to a scheduled software upgrade, a branch from Master will be created with the new release version tag. Pull requests that address bugs should then be made to both Master and the new release branch. Pull requests that require extensive review and testing (generally, optimizations and new features) should *not* be made to the release branch.
## Installing Monero from a package
Packages are available for
* Ubuntu and [snap supported](https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install) systems, via a community contributed build.
snap install monero --beta
Installing a snap is very quick. Snaps are secure. They are isolated with all of their dependencies. Snaps also auto update when a new version is released.
* Arch Linux (via [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/)):
- Stable release: [`monero`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/monero)
- Bleeding edge: [`monero-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/monero-git)
* Void Linux:
xbps-install -S monero
* GuixSD
guix package -i monero
* OS X via [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)
brew tap sammy007/cryptonight
brew install monero --build-from-source
* Docker
# Build using all available cores
docker build -t monero .
# or build using a specific number of cores (reduce RAM requirement)
docker build --build-arg NPROC=1 -t monero .
# either run in foreground
docker run -it -v /monero/chain:/root/.bitmonero -v /monero/wallet:/wallet -p 18080:18080 monero
# or in background
docker run -it -d -v /monero/chain:/root/.bitmonero -v /monero/wallet:/wallet -p 18080:18080 monero
Packaging for your favorite distribution would be a welcome contribution!
