Download Options
- Option 1: click on the
⬇ Downloadslinks above and download the .ISO or .IMG file with your Web browser. Afterward, we recommend to verify the checksum of your downloaded file against the file checksum list. - Option 2: install IPFS, select the .ISO or .IMG file in the IPFS hash list and use the corresponding hash value to enter:
ipfs get <HASHVALUE>. Advantage: distributed download and automatic verification, also perfect for automation and command-line usage. - Option 3: install IPFS and pin the OSMA archive (or parts of it) to your machine. Check your free disk space, then execute:
ipfs pin add /ipns/QmRdZ6apYBTXHJ43y3NBKe5GJqdc8q58Pnu3RHSQntXQNP
NOTE: updates are published via the IPFS pubsub topic "OSMA".
