You download the Harbor installers from the [official releases](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/releases) page. Download either the online installer or the offline installer.
- **Online installer:** The online installer downloads the Harbor images from Docker hub. For this reason, the installer is very small in size.
- **Offline installer:** Use the offline installer if the host to which are are deploying Harbor does not have a connection to the Internet. The offline installer contains pre-built images, so it is larger than the online installer.
The installation processes are almost the same for both the online and offline installers.
## Download and Unpack the Installer
1. Go to the [Harbor releases page](https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/releases).
1. Download either the online or offline installer for the version you want to install.
1. Optionally download the corresponding `*.asc` file to verify that the package is genuine.
The `*.asc` file is an OpenPGP key file. Perform the following steps to verify that the downloaded bundle is genuine.
The `gpg` command verifies that the signature of the bundle matches that of the `*.asc` key file. You should see confirmation that the signature is correct.
