# Install Sui

Move is a compiled language, so you need to install a compiler to be able to write and run Move
programs. The compiler is included into the Sui binary, which can be installed or downloaded using
one of the methods below.

## Installing via suiup

The best way to install Sui is by using [`suiup`](https://github.com/MystenLabs/suiup). It provides a simple way to install binaries and to manage different versions of binaries for
different environments (e.g. `testnet` and `mainnet`).

Installation instructions for `suiup` can be found
[in the repository README](https://github.com/MystenLabs/suiup).

To install Sui, run the following command:

```bash
suiup install sui
```

## Download Binary

You can download the latest Sui binary from the
[releases page](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/releases). The binary is available for macOS,
Linux and Windows. For education purposes and development, we recommend using the `mainnet` version.

## Install Using Homebrew (MacOS)

You can install Sui using the [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) package manager.

```bash
brew install sui
```

## Install Using Chocolatey (Windows)

You can install Sui using the [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install) package manager for
Windows.

```bash
choco install sui
```

## Build Using Cargo (MacOS, Linux)

You can install and build Sui locally by using the Cargo package manager (requires Rust)

```bash
cargo install --git https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git sui --branch mainnet
```

Change the branch target here to `testnet` or `devnet` if you are targeting one of those.

Make sure that your system has the latest Rust versions with the command below.

```bash
rustup update stable
```

## Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting the installation process, please refer to the
