### Downloading

Mailman is available from the following sources:

- SourceForge
- GNU
- List.Org

If you're using a command line FTP client, be sure to set the mode to binary. Once you've downloaded the source tarball, you can unpack it with the following commands:

>     % cd /usr/local/src
>     % tar zxf mailman.tar.gz

Note that the file name may have the version number in it, e.g. `mailman-2.1.tar.gz`.

Mailman's tarball unpacks into a directory called `mailman-xyz` where xyz is the version number. Note also that some versions of `tar` don't accept the z option. In that case, you'll need to use the `gunzip` program like so:

>     % gunzip -c mailman.tar.gz | tar xf -
