Zabbix Documentation 5.0

There are four ways of getting Zabbix:

• Install it from the distribution packages
• Download the latest source archive and compile it yourself
• Install it from the containers
• Download the virtual appliance

To download the latest distribution packages, pre-compiled sources or the virtual appliance, go to the Zabbix download page, where direct links to latest versions are provided.

There are several ways of getting Zabbix source code:

• You can download the released stable versions from the official Zabbix website
• You can download nightly builds from the official Zabbix website developer page
• You can get the latest development version from the Git source code repository system:
  • The primary location of the full repository is at https://git.zabbix.com/scm/zbx/zabbix.git
  • Master and supported releases are also mirrored to Github at https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix

A Git client must be installed to clone the repository. The official commandline Git client package is commonly called git in distributions. To install, for example, on Debian/Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

To grab all Zabbix source, change to the directory you want to place the code in and execute:

git clone https://git.zabbix.com/scm/zbx/zabbix.git
