Depending on the platform you plan to install and run Karaf you will select the appropriate installation image. Open a Web browser and access the following URL, there you will find the available packages for download (binaries and source code).
http://servicemixfelix.apache.org/kernelsite/downloaddownloads.htmlcgi
Select the file compression format compatible with your system (zip for windows, tar.gz for unixes) by clicking directly on the link, download it and expand the binary to your hard drive in a new directory; for example in z:\servicemix - from now on this directory will be referenced as <SERVICEMIX<KARAF_HOME>. Please remember the restrictions concerning illegal characters in Java paths, e.g. !, % etc.
