## Download standalone bundle
We distribute our stable releases and develop builds as standalone bundles. These are useful when you'd like to: a) install a specific version of our code (e.g., for reproducible environments); b) install on machines without internet access (e.g., air-gapped computers); or c) do not like automatic updates and would rather manually install software.
