[Back to table of contents](../index.md) ---------- # Download the Harbor Installer 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. 1. Obtain the public key for the `*.asc` file.
gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --receive-keys 644FF454C0B4115C
You should see the message ` public key "Harbor-sign (The key for signing Harbor build) " imported` 1. Verify that the package is genuine by running one of the following commands. - Online installer:
gpg -v --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --verify harbor-online-installer-version.tgz.asc
- Offline installer:
gpg -v --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --verify harbor-offline-installer-version.tgz.asc
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.
      gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1
      gpg: assuming signed data in 'harbor-offline-installer-v1.10.0-rc2.tgz'
