+# Get VyOS
+
+VyOS has three release "channels": nightly builds, monthly snapshots, and LTS releases.
+
+## Nightly builds
+
+Nightly builds are automatically produced every day and include all latest code
+from maintainers and community contributors.
+
+They aren't hand-test before upload, and occasionally may not even boot.
+
+Nightly builds are for you if you...
+
+* want to help us test latest VyOS code
+* want to check whether a bug is fixed in the latest code
+* made a patch and want to test it before making a pull request
+
+Get nightly builds from [downloads.vyos.io](https://downloads.vyos.io/?dir=rolling/current/).
+
+## Monthly snapshots
+
+Monthly snapshots receive some testing to ensure they aren't badly broken.
+They include all experimental features.
+
+We recommend them for home networks, lab use, and non-critical production routers.
+
+Get them from our [snapshots page](/get/snapshots).
+
+## LTS release
+
+Prebuilt LTS release images are available to people and companies who help us move the project forward.
+
+There are many ways to get access:
+
+* Purchase a [software access subscription](https://vyos.io/subscriptions/software/).
+* Get free access with a [support subscription](https://vyos.io/subscriptions/support/).
+* Apply for a free subscription as a [contributor](/get/contributor-subscriptions).
+* Apply for a free subscription as an [educational instutution](https://vyos.io/community/for-educational-institutions/), [non-profit](https://vyos.io/community/for-non-commercial-organizations/), or an [emergency service](http://vyos.io/community/for-first-responders/).
+
+Or you can build an LTS image from source.
