Herd Community 1.0.1 is distributed as two x86_64 images:

Image	File	When to use
Installer ISO	CapivaraOS-HERD-1.0.1-x86_64.installer.iso	Install on a physical server or VM from scratch
qcow2 disk	CapivaraOS-HERD-1.0.1-x86_64.qcow2	Spin up quickly on cloud/virtualization with cloud-init

Download from:

• Website: capivaraos.org — Download
• SourceForge: CapivaraOS-HERD/1.0.1 folder

Verify integrity

Always check the SHA-256 of the downloaded file against the published value. Both image sums are in the SHA256SUMS file, in the same download folder:

Linux / macOSWindows (PowerShell)

# download SHA256SUMS into the same folder, then run:
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
# it should answer "OK" for the file(s) you downloaded

Get-FileHash .\CapivaraOS-HERD-1.0.1-x86_64.installer.iso -Algorithm SHA256
# compare the output with the value above

If the checksum doesn't match

Do not use the image. A different hash means a corrupted download or a tampered file — download it again, preferably from the official source.

Next step

• Physical server/VM → Install via ISO
• Cloud/virtualization → Cloud/VM deployment
