+title: Building from Source
+---
+
+You can either build a release from source or download a pre-built release.  If you do not plan on developing Kubernetes itself, we suggest using a pre-built version of the current release, which can be found in the [Release Notes](/docs/imported/release/notes/).
+
+The Kubernetes source code can be downloaded from the [kubernetes/kubernetes repo](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes).
+
+### Building from source
+
+If you are simply building a release from source there is no need to set up a full golang environment as all building happens in a Docker container.
+
+Building a release is simple.
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.git
+cd kubernetes
+make release
+```
+
+For more details on the release process see the kubernetes/kubernetes [`build`](http://releases.k8s.io/{{page.githubbranch}}/build/) directory.
