Haiku Downloads

To install Haiku, we offer stable release builds as well as nightly builds which are continually built by a cluster of dedicated machines from the latest Haiku source code.

Latest Stable Release

Official releases leading up to and including R1 Final are distributed only as a GCC 2 Hybrid for the x86 architecture. Applications made for Haiku should be tested on the latest available stable release.

With the release of Haiku R1 Alpha 4, there now are official image files available. Please head over to the download page at the Haiku website to get a Haiku image from one of our mirrors.

Nightly Images

These "nightly images" are provided mainly for development and testing purposes.
While we do try to keep our code in a working state at all times, these are not considered to be stable and may be broken in various ways at any given point in time.

To keep the file size down, nightly images lack some extra bundled software included in regular releases. You can install these and many more packages with the HaikuDepot application.

GCC 2 Hybrids are recommended, as they are the most similar to official releases. Developers who choose to release software that requires a nightly build, are requested to provide a build for the latest stable nightly image.

x86 GCC 2 Hybrid - nightly images

Unsupported variants (GCC 2 Only, GCC 5 Only, GCC 5 Hybrid, x86_64, and non-x86 hardware) are available below. They are provided for development and testing purposes only. The non-x86 builds are in the early stages of development. If you're lucky, those non-x86 builds will boot just enough to crash.

All of these variant builds are unsupported.
Releasing software that requires these unsupported builds is discouraged.
