      .. admonition:: Install from the MinIO Download Page
         :class: note

         MinIO does not officially publish its binaries to common Linux repositories or package managers (Ubuntu, RHEL, Archlinux/AUR).
         The only official source of MinIO binaries is the `MinIO Download Page <https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/>`__.

         MinIO does not recommend installation through a package manager, as upstream repositories may install the incorrect package or a renamed package.

         All documentation assumes the installation of the *official* ``mc`` client binary through the download page *only*, with no changes to binary naming.

   .. tab-item:: macOS

   .. tab-item:: Windows

      Open the following file in a browser:

      Execute the file by double clicking on it, *or* by running the
      following in the command prompt or powershell:

      .. code-block:: powershell

         \path\to\mc.exe --help

   .. tab-item:: Source

      Installation from source is intended for developers and advanced users
      and requires a working Golang environment. See 
      `How to install Golang <https://golang.org/doc/install>`__.

      Run the following commands in a terminal environment to install ``mc``
      from source:

      .. code-block:: shell
         :class: copyable

         go install github.com/minio/mc@latest

      :mc:`mc update` does not support source-based installations.
