Release Integrity

You must verify the integrity of the downloaded files. We provide OpenPGP signatures for every release file. This signature should be matched against the KEYS file which contains the OpenPGP keys of Pulsar's Release Managers. We also provide MD5 and SHA-512 checksums for every release file. After you download the file, you should calculate a checksum for your download, and make sure it is the same as ours.

Getting started

Once you've downloaded a Pulsar release, instructions on getting up and running with a {% popover standalone %} cluster that you can run on your laptop can be found in the Run Pulsar locally tutorial.

If you need to connect to an existing Pulsar {% popover cluster %} or {% popover instance %} using an officially supported client, see the client docs for these languages:
