{{Note|The best and latest Debian version for OpenVZ 6 is [[Installation on Debian 8|Devuan 1.0]], but Debian 9 makes really easy the coexistence of OVZ and unprivileged LXC containers.}}
{{Out|Current commercial version of OpenVZ ([[Virtuozzo]] 7) is not installable on Devuan or Debian GNU/Linux because is developed as an independent GNU/Linux distribution}}

sudo reboot
This step is optional, vzctl is able to download templates on demand.
An OS template is a GNU distribution for Linux distribution , installed into a container
and then packed into a gzipped tarball. Using such a cache, a new container
can be created in a minute.
sudo vztmpl-dl --gpg-check debian-8.0-x86_64-minimal
Alternatively, you can also download precreated template caches from [http://openvz.org/download[Download/template/cache Downloads precreated|Download » Templates Template » Precreated]], or from one of the [https://mirrors.openvz.org/ mirrors]. Put those tarballs '''as-is (no unpacking needed)''' to the <tt>/vz/template/cache/</tt> directory.
