== Getting Buildroot
Buildroot releases are made every 3 months, in February, May, August and
November. Release numbers are in the format YYYY.MM, so for example
2013.02, 2014.08.
Release tarballs are available at http://buildroot.org/downloads/[].
For your convenience, a https://www.vagrantup.com/[Vagrantfile] is
available in `support/misc/Vagrantfile` in the Buildroot source tree
to quickly set up a virtual machine with the needed dependencies to
get started.
If you want to setup an isolated buildroot environment on Linux or Mac
Os X, paste this line onto your terminal:
--------------------
curl -O https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile; vagrant up
--------------------
If you are on Windows, paste this into your powershell:
--------------------
(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(
"https://buildroot.org/downloads/Vagrantfile","Vagrantfile");
vagrant up
--------------------
If you want to follow development, you can use the daily snapshots or
make a clone of the Git repository. Refer to the
http://buildroot.org/download[Download page] of the Buildroot website
for more details.
