title: Standalone Package Installation
---
You can install Kubes as a standalone package. The nice thing about this approach is that it is easy. You don't have to have Ruby installed. You don’t have to worry about compatible Ruby versions, gems, or conflicting system packages.
Kubes provides the pre-built binaries. Other tools such as [vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/), written in ruby, and the [aws cli](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/), written in python, also work the same way.
Important: If you're using rvm or rbenv and already have Ruby installed, you should [install kubes as a gem]({% link _docs/install/gem.md %}). Otherwise, different gem dependencies from the two installations can be used and cause all kinds of trouble.
Below are quickstart instructions for different OSes.
## Mac OSX
brew tap boltops-tools/software
brew install kubes

## CentOS/RedHat/Fedora
sudo su
curl -so /etc/yum.repos.d/boltops.repo https://yum.boltops.com/boltops.repo
rpm --import https://yum.boltops.com/boltops-key.public
yum install -y kubes

## Ubuntu/Debian
sudo su
echo "deb https://apt.boltops.com stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/boltops.list
curl -s https://apt.boltops.com/boltops-key.public | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install -y kubes

{% include install/wrapper.md %}
## How It Works
The standalone installer packages are built within a few minutes of the kubes gem release. Here are also details on how the standalone installer works: [Standalone Details]({% link _docs/install/standalone/details.md %}).
