You can download the appropriate tarball package from
[https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-80](https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-80)

### Version updates

Starting with *Percona XtraDB Cluster* 8.0.20-11, the **Linux - Generic**
section lists only full or minimal tar files. Each tarball file replaces the
multiple tar file listing used in earlier versions and supports all
distributions.

!!! important

    Starting with *Percona XtraDB Cluster* 8.0.21, Percona does not provide a
    tarball for RHEL 6/CentOS 6 (glibc2.12).

The version number in the tarball name must be substituted with
the appropriate version number for your system. To indicate that such a
substitution is needed in statements, we use `<version-number>`.

| Name| Type| Description|
| ---- | ---- | ---------- | 
| Percona-XtraDB-Cluster_<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.17.tar.gz| Full| Contains binary files, libraries, test files, and debug symbols|
| Percona-XtraDB-Cluster_<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.17.minimal.tar.gz| Minimal| Contains binary files and libraries but does not include test files, or debug symbols|

For installations before *Percona XtraDB Cluster* 8.0.20-11, the **Linux - Generic** section contains multiple tarballs based on the operating system names:

```{.text .no-copy}
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster_8.0.18-9.3_Linux.x86_64.bionic.tar.gz
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster_8.0.18-9.3_Linux.x86_64.buster.tar.gz
...
```

For example, you can use `curl` as follows:

```

Check your system to make sure the packages that the PXC
version requires are installed.
