How to download Magento engine
This video tutorial will show you how to download Magento engine. First of all visit the official Magento website at http://www.magentocommerce.com
Before you start downloading the Magento release please check the template requirements at the preview page to get the correct version.
Using the top navigation menu select Download>Download Magento
Here you have 2 download options: Full Release and Downloader.
Full Release (recommended) – allows you to download full Magento engine package. We recommend using the Full Release download option
Downloader – allows you to use Magento engine downloader to install Magento on your server. The downloader package is smaller and it will automatically download all Magento core files to your server.
The downloader reduces the size of files that need to be FTP‘ed from your local computer up to your server. When using the downloader, you just FTP the downloader to the server and when it is run, the downloader will fetch all of the Magento files for the current stable release.
Note: Magento download can be used to install ONLY the latest Magento release.
When you decided which option to use click the "Select your format" select box and choose the download package format. Click Download button to start downloading
In case you need more recent versions of Magento engine click Release Archives tab at the top
Here you can select any Magento release to download.
