# balena CLI Installation Instructions for Linux
These instructions are suitable for most Linux distributions on Intel x86, such as
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux and other glibc-based distributions.
For the ARM architecture and for Linux distributions not based on glibc, such as
Alpine Linux, follow the [NPM Installation](./INSTALL-ADVANCED.md#npm-installation)
method.
Selected operating system: **Linux**
1. Download the latest zip file from the [latest release
page](https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/releases/latest). Look for a file name that ends
with "-standalone.zip", for example:
`balena-cli-vX.Y.Z-linux-x64-standalone.zip`
2. Extract the zip file contents to any folder you choose, for example `/home/james`.
The extracted contents will include a `balena-cli` folder.
3. Add that folder (e.g. `/home/james/balena-cli`) to the `PATH` environment variable.
