Please use the stable branch for your public infrastructure unless you
know exactly what you are doing and are prepared for the big unknown.

If you find any bugs, please :doc:`let us know <Contribute>`!

Git Repository Access
---------------------

Since we started integrating the batman-adv kernel module into the
mainline Linux tree, we maintain a git repository which contains the
batman-adv maintenance branches. More information can be found
:doc:`on our git page <UsingBatmanGit>`.
On overview about all the git repositories can be found on our `git
frontend <https://git.open-mesh.org>`__. We also host individual
repositories for development related to batman or meshing in general.
Feel free to contact us if you are interested in getting a repository
too.

batman-adv in the Linux tree
----------------------------

Since linux 2.6.33 batman-adv is part of the official linux tree. You
can build batman-adv along with your linux binary by simply selecting
batman-adv in the Linux drivers section. If you want to have access to
the latest features on a non-bleeding edge kernel, you can clone our
git repository which still are backward compatible to all
stable/longterm kernels.

It follows an overview of linux versions and the batman-adv version they
contain, so that you can easily pick the compatible batctl packages:

Debian
------

Use apt-get (or any other dpkg frontend of choice) to install
B.A.T.M.A.N. onto your debian machine. Following packages are available:

-  `alfred <https://packages.debian.org/sid/alfred>`__
-  `batmand <https://packages.debian.org/sid/batmand>`__
-  `batctl <https://packages.debian.org/sid/batctl>`__
-  `linux <https://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/linux>`__ -
   batman-advanced kernel module as `part of the
   official <https://bugs.debian.org/622361>`__ kernel packages

Similar packages are also available through `Ubuntu
universe <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu>`__ .

Gentoo
------

Use emerge to build B.A.T.M.A.N. on your gentoo machine. Following
ebuilds are available:

-  `net-misc/batctl <https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-misc/batctl>`__
-  `net-misc/batman-adv <https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-misc/batman-adv>`__

openSUSE
--------

-  `network:utilities /
   batctl <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=batctl&project=network%3Autilities>`__
-  the batman-adv module is available as module in the official kernel
   packages

Building OpenWRT packages
-------------------------

B.A.T.M.A.N. is also included in OpenWRT as a package. Download the
extra package feed, link the batman folder into your main OpenWRT svn
directory and use "make menuconfig" to select the B.A.T.M.A.N. flavor
you intend to use. This enables you to integrate B.A.T.M.A.N. seamlessly
into your builds (see  :doc:`this page </batman-adv/Building-with-openwrt>` for
a detailed explanation).

More information about how to build the OpenWRT toolchain is available
`here <https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build>`__.
