This page only lists official MarlinSpike distribution surfaces with real links. You should be able to find the repository, source snapshots, deployment path, and the current binary status without guessing which channels are public yet.

## Hosted MarlinSpike, cloudmarlin.com

The fastest way to use MarlinSpike without standing up your own deployment is the hosted version at [cloudmarlin.com](https://cloudmarlin.com). Same engine, same workbench, no Docker stack to install. Sign up, upload a pcap, work the project with your team. The rest of this page is for self-hosting.

## Official repository

These are the main public places to browse code, installation notes, and release history.

**Source repository** [available], The public GitHub repository is the canonical source code surface for MarlinSpike, including the license, issues, and code history. [https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike)

**Docs and wiki** [available], Product docs, deployment guidance, architecture notes, and release references. [/wiki/](/wiki/)

**Install guide** [available], Repository-side installation notes for operators who want the checked-in setup and environment details. [INSTALL.md](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/blob/main/INSTALL.md)

**Version history** [available], Engine and web UI release notes are tracked in the repository until tagged binary releases are published. [releases.md](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/blob/main/releases.md)

## Source downloads

If you want MarlinSpike right now without waiting for packaged installers, these are the official source-level download surfaces and component repos that resolve today.

**Main branch zip archive** [available], Download the current main branch as a zip snapshot when you want the source tree directly. [Download zip](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)

**Main branch tarball** [available], Grab the current main branch as a tar.gz source archive for Unix-friendly environments and scripted fetches. [Download tar.gz](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz)

**Standalone DPI engine source** [available], The packet-facing Rust DPI engine is published separately as marlinspike-dpi for teams that want that parser surface on its own. [https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike-dpi](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike-dpi)

## Official packages

MarlinSpike is not pretending to ship native package-manager artifacts yet. The official package surface today is the checked-in Docker deployment path and the files that back it.

**Docker Compose deployment** [available, official path], The currently supported package and install path is source plus Docker Compose for server and lab deployments. See [deployment docs](/wiki/deployment/).

**docker-compose.yml** [available], Review the checked-in Compose manifest used as the baseline deployment for the web application and PostgreSQL. [View compose file](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/blob/main/docker-compose.yml)

**Docker build recipe** [available], Inspect the multi-stage Docker build that compiles the protected Python modules and assembles the runtime image. [View Dockerfile](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/blob/main/Dockerfile)

**Package registries** [not published], There are no official Homebrew, apt, yum, winget, Chocolatey, MSI, or similar package registry artifacts published right now.

## Official binaries

The releases surface is real and public, but binary artifacts are not published there yet.

**GitHub releases page** [available], The official release surface already exists on GitHub, but it does not currently contain tagged binary artifacts. [https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/releases](https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike/releases)

**Standalone binaries** [not published], No public Linux, macOS, or Windows standalone binaries are published today. The public install path remains source plus Docker.

**OS installers and packages** [not published], There are no signed desktop installers or OS-native packages published yet for direct host installation.

**Checksums and signatures** [not published], Checksum and signature files are not published yet because there are no public binary release artifacts to verify.

## Official install path

Docker Compose is the published package path today. MarlinSpike is a shared web workbench, so the supported install story is still a Git clone plus Docker Compose on a field host, temporary VM, lab server, or internal staging system behind a reverse proxy.

```
git clone https://github.com/eris-ot/marlinspike.git
cd marlinspike
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
```
