---------------
Visit the `Github release page <https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases/latest>`_ to find the latest StartOS release.
At the bottom of the page, under "Assets," download the ``x86_64.iso`` or ``x86_64-nonfree.iso`` file. The former image contains no proprietary software (built for the Server Pure). As the title implies, the latter, ``nonfree`` image, contains non-free (closed-source) software. This may be required for your hardware, especially for graphics and/or wireless device support.

Server Pure (*x86_64.iso*)
-------------------------
The ``x86_64.iso`` image contains no proprietary software and is built especially for the Server Pure.

Server One (*x86_64-nonfree.iso*)
-------------------------------
The ``x86_64-nonfree.iso`` image contains non-free (closed-source) software. This is needed for the Server One and most DIY hardware, especially for graphics and/or wireless device support.
*For a DIY virtual machine build, if using a x86 chip, you'd use the non-free image if the free version does not work for you, but for an Apple Silicon chip you would use* ``aarch64.iso`` *and follow* `this guide <https://blog.start9.com/running-startos-on-apple-silicon/>`_.
