We designed MinIO as Open Source software for the Open Source software community.

We encourage the community to remix, redesign, and reshare MinIO under the terms of the AGPLv3 license.

## Legacy Releases
|
||||
## Source-Only Distribution
|
||||
|
||||
MinIO has no planned or scheduled releases for this repository.
|
||||
While a new release may be cut at any time, there is no timeline for when a subsequent release may occur.
|
||||
All existing releases remain accessible through Github or at https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/ .
|
||||
**Important:** The MinIO community edition is now distributed as source code only. We will no longer provide pre-compiled binary releases for the community version.
|
||||
|
||||
The following sections provide instructions for building against the `master` branch for deployments that require access to the latest changes:
|
||||
### Installing Latest MinIO Community Edition
|
||||
|
||||
- [Install from Source](#install-from-source)
|
||||
- [Build Docker Image](#build-docker-image)
|
||||
To use MinIO community edition, you have two options:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install from source** using `go install github.com/minio/minio@latest` (recommended)
|
||||
2. **Build a Docker image** from the provided Dockerfile
|
||||
|
||||
See the sections below for detailed instructions on each method.
|
||||
|
||||
### Legacy Binary Releases
|
||||
|
||||
Historical pre-compiled binary releases remain available for reference but are no longer maintained:
|
||||
- GitHub Releases: https://github.com/minio/minio/releases
|
||||
- Direct downloads: https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/
|
||||
|
||||
**These legacy binaries will not receive updates.** We strongly recommend using source builds for access to the latest features, bug fixes, and security updates.
