                      2: 
                      3: Obtaining iperf3
                      4: ================
                      5: 
                      6: Binary Distributions
                      7: --------------------
                      8: 
                      9: Binary packages are available for several supported operating systems:
                     10: 
                     11: * FreeBSD:  `benchmarks/iperf3
                     12:   <http://freshports.org/benchmarks/iperf3>`_ in the FreeBSD Ports Collection
                     13: * Fedora / CentOS: `iperf3
                     14:   <https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/iperf3/>`_ and
                     15:   `iperf3-devel
                     16:   <https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/iperf3-devel>`_ in Fedora
                     17:   19 and 20 and in Fedora EPEL 5, 6, and 7.
                     18: 
                     19: Source Distributions
                     20: --------------------
                     21: 
                     22: Source distributions of iperf are available as compressed (gzip)
                     23: tarballs at:
                     24: 
                     25: http://downloads.es.net/pub/iperf/
                     26: 
                     27: **Note:**  Due to a software packaging error, the 3.0.2 release
                     28: tarball was not compressed, even though its filename had a ``.tar.gz``
                     29: suffix.
                     30: 
                     31: **Note:**  GitHub, which currently hosts the iperf3 project, supports
                     32: a "Releases" feature, which can automatically generate ``.zip`` or ``.tar.gz``
                     33: archives, on demand, from tags in the iperf3 source tree.  These tags are
                     34: created during the release engineering process to mark the exact
                     35: version of files making up a release.
                     36: 
                     37: In theory, the ``.tar.gz`` files produced by GitHub contain the same
                     38: contents as what are in the official tarballs, note that the tarballs
                     39: themselves will be different due to internal timestamps or other
                     40: metadata.  Therefore these files will *not* match the published SHA256
                     41: checksums and no guarantees can be made about the integrity of the
                     42: files.  The authors of iperf3 always recommend downloading source
                     43: distributions from the the directory above (or a mirror site), and
                     44: verifying the SHA256 checksums before using them for any purpose, to
                     45: ensure the files have not been tampered with.
                     46: 
                     47: Source Code Repository
                     48: ----------------------
                     49: 
                     50: The iperf3 project is hosted on GitHub at:
                     51: 
                     52: https://github.com/esnet/iperf
                     53: 
                     54: The iperf3 source code repository can be checked out directly from
                     55: GitHub using:
                     56: 
                     57: ``git clone https://github.com/esnet/iperf.git``
                     58: 
                     59: Primary development for iperf3 takes place on CentOS 6 Linux, FreeBSD 10,
                     60: and MacOS X 10.8. At this time, these are the only officially supported
                     61: platforms, however there have been some reports of success with
                     62: OpenBSD, Android, and other Linux distributions.
