### Get dfget executable file

1. Download a binary package of the dfget. You can download one of the latest builds for Dragonfly on the [github releases page](https://github.
   com/dragonflyoss/Dragonfly2/releases).

```sh
version=2.0.0
wget https://github.com/dragonflyoss/Dragonfly2/releases/download/v$version/Dragonfly2_$version_linux_amd64.tar.gz
```

2. Unzip the package.

```bash
# Replace `xxx` with the installation directory.
tar -zxf Dragonfly2_2.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz -C xxx
```

3. Move the `dfget` to your `PATH` environment variable to make sure you can directly use `dfget` command.

Or you can build your own dfget executable file.

1. Obtain the source code of Dragonfly.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/dragonflyoss/Dragonfly2.git
```

2. Enter the project directory.

```sh
cd Dragonfly2
```

3. Compile the source code.

```sh
make build-dfget && make install-dfget
```

### Start dfdaemon

```sh
dfget daemon --options
```

After dfget is installed, run the following commands to verify if **dfdaemon** is started, and if Port `65000`, `65001` and `65002` is available.

```sh
telnet 127.0.0.1 65000
telnet 127.0.0.1 65001
telnet 127.0.0.1 65002
```
