Download a gzip compressed archive

vmm could be downloaded from the download page at SourceForge. To extract the downloaded archive use tar xzf vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz. This will create the new directory vmm-0.6.2 in the current working directory.

Verify the downloaded archive

If you have downloaded the archive from the download site you can optionally verify the integrity of this archive. In order to verify the integrity of the archive you have to download the corresponding signature file (vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz.sig) too. The signature can be verified using GPG or PGP. For example to check the signature of the archive vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz you can execute this command gpg --verify vmm-0.6.2.tar.gz.sig.

The tarball was signed by Pascal Volk (Fingerprint 4e56901b155b2b3a8bf79248880b094ec51139fe). Older releases (≦ 0.6.1) were signed with the key with fingerprint 9c03e870e6bbf1f4f94e51c51e83c01ecec0904e). You can fetch the public key from a key server using the command gpg --recv-keys 0x4e56901b155b2b3a8bf79248880b094ec51139fe.

Get vmm from the Mercurial repository

To get a tagged clone of the current vmm release from the Mercurial repository use: hg clone http://hg.localdomain.org/vmm/ -r vmm-0.6.2 vmm-0.6.2. This will put the files into the new created directory vmm-0.6.2.

When you omit the -r vmm-0.6.2 option, you will get the latest changes from the vmm repository. This code may work for you or not.
