+# Installing OpenTofu
+
+## Installing via direct download
+
+The most direct method to install OpenTofu is to download it from GitHub releases. Each GitHub release has an Assets section, where you can find the `zip` archive for your platform and download it.
+
+Once you download a zip archive from there, you can unzip it and move the `tofu` binary into your $PATH, e.g. into `/usr/local/bin` on many Unix operating systems.
+
+You could, for example, run these commands:
+
+```bash
+wget https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/releases/download/v1.6.0-alpha2/tofu_1.6.0-alpha2_darwin_arm64.zip
+unzip tofu_1.6.0-alpha2_darwin_arm64.zip
+mv tofu /usr/local/bin/tofu
+```
+
+to install OpenTofu on an arm64 MacOS system.
+
+You can find the latest GitHub release of OpenTofu [here](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/releases/latest).
