+# ELOG download information
+
+---
+
+ELOG is distributed both as source code and as precompiled binaries for
+various platforms. In addition to major versions, minor releases are
+made containing bug fixes or some new and not yet completely debugged
+code. This is usually the case if some user asks for some new features,
+which are then implemented and sent to the user for testing. The minor
+releases are named **`x.y.z-r`** where **`r`** is the release number. A
+[web access](https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog) to the source code
+contains the complete development history of ELOG, plus the newest fixes
+and features which might yet be in a release. To check out the GIT
+repository, use:
+
+`git clone https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog --recursive`
+
+No tags are used, so it is recommended to always use the newest release
+from the "master" branch.
+
+Building elogd requires the CMake system and is done in the traditional
+way:
+
+``` text
+$ cd elog
+$ mkdir build
+$ cd build
+$ cmake ..
+$ make
+```
+
+This will put the executables **`elogd`** and **`elog`** into the build
+directory, from where they can be moved to a system directory like
+**`/usr/local/sbin/elogd`**
+
+News for each version can be seen in the
+[changelog](http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog)
+
+## Binary packages
+
+Various binary packages are kept in a separate [download repository](https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/).
+
+## Windows Binaries
+
+The windows binaries are distributed with an automatic
+[installer](http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/elog-latest.exe).
+Execute the installer to install ELOG and to register the elogd server
+as a windows service. Previous windows versions can be found
+[here](http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/).
+
+Note that the windows binaries are very much outdated and will be
+updated once the develop gets access again to a Windows PC.
