# 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.
