OpenVZ consists of a kernel, some user-level tools, and container templates. Kernel and tools are needed to install OpenVZ, and templates are needed to create containers.
For kernel and utilities installation instructions, see [[Quick installation]]. For information about templates, see [[OS template cache preparation]].
== Direct downloads and mirrors ==
All the downloadable stuff is also available directly from [[download:|download.openvz.org]] and its [[download mirrors|mirrors]]
== Yum repository ==
If you are using yum, you can add openvz yum repository by putting [[download:openvz.repo]] file to the <code>/etc/yum.repos.d/</code> directory on your machine. For more info about yum and OpenVZ yum repository, see [[Yum]].
== GPG signed ==
Note that all RPM packages from OpenVZ project should be signed by our GPG key. You can get the public key from this server or download server and import it to your RPMDB using <code>rpm --import</code> filename command.
== Downloads ==
; [[Download/kernel|Kernel]]
: Kernel is the heart of OpenVZ. This is modified Linux kernel with virtualization layer added.
; [[Download/utils|Utilities]]
: Set of user-level tools needed to run OpenVZ. Consists of vzctl - an utility to manage containers and vzquota - per-container disk quota configuration tool.
; [[Download/templates|Templates]]
:Templates are OS images for installation into OpenVZ container. An OS template is basically a set of packages from some Linux distribution used to populate a container. With OpenVZ, different distributions can co-exist on the same hardware box, so multiple OS templates are available. Here you can find various OS templates, as well as template utilities.
; [[Download/livecd|Live CDs]]
:Live CD is the best way to test drive OpenVZ without a need to install it.
