Get Sovereign Stack

Ok, you've decided to try Sovereign Stack. The first thing you need to do is download the Sovereign Stack code base to your bare metal management machine.

First, on your management machine make sure you have git installed. Then from the command line run:

git clone --branch incus --recurse-submodules https://git.sovereign-stack.org/ss/sovereign-stack.git ~/sovereign-stack
cd ~/sovereign-stack
git submodule update --init --recursive

You can clone it into a different directory of course, but the instructions on this site assume you're using ~/sovereign-stack.

If you're developing, be sure to run the git submodule update command above after you checkout any branch.

That's it! You now have Sovereign Stack on your management machine. Next, let's VERIFY the code has been signed by the Sovereign Stack maintainer.
