     9  # Install Nomad
    10  
    11  Installing Nomad is simple. There are two approaches to installing Nomad:
    12  downloading a precompiled binary for your system, or installing from source.
    13  
    14  Downloading a precompiled binary is easiest, and we provide downloads over
    15  TLS along with SHA256 sums to verify the binary.
    16  
    17  ## Precompiled Binaries
    18  
    19  To install the precompiled binary,
    20  [download](/downloads.html) the appropriate package for your system.
    21  Nomad is currently packaged as a zip file. We do not have any near term
    22  plans to provide system packages.
    23  
    24  Once the zip is downloaded, unzip it into any directory. The
    25  `nomad` binary inside is all that is necessary to run Nomad (or
    26  `nomad.exe` for Windows). Any additional files, if any, aren't
    27  required to run Nomad.
    28  
    29  Copy the binary to anywhere on your system. If you intend to access it
    30  from the command-line, make sure to place it somewhere on your `PATH`.
    31  
    32  ## Compiling from Source
    33  
    34  To compile from source, you will need [Go](https://golang.org) installed
    35  and configured properly. you will also need Git.
    36  
    37    1. Clone the Nomad repository into your GOPATH: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad
    38  
    39    1. Verify that the file `$GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/nomad/main.go`
    40       exists. If it does not, then you did not clone Nomad into the proper
    41       path.
    42  
    43    1. Run `make`. This will build Nomad for your current system
    44       and put the binary in `bin` (relative to the git checkout).
    45  
    46  ## Verifying the Installation
    47  
    48  To verify Nomad is properly installed, execute the `nomad` binary on
    49  your system. You should see help output. If you are executing it from
    50  the command line, make sure it is on your PATH or you may get an error
    51  about `nomad` not being found.
