At the time of writing this article, the latest stable version of Prometheus is 2.30.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before downloading, visit the official Prometheus downloads page and check if there is a new version available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download it&nbsp; using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget https:\/\/github.com\/prometheus\/prometheus\/releases\/download\/v2.30.3\/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the tarball is downloaded, verify the tarball checksum with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sha256sum prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see an output that looks similar to the one below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">1ccd386d05f73a98b69aa5e0ed31fffac95cd9dadf7df1540daf2f182c5287e2 prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare the hash value from the above output to the checksum value on the Prometheus download page. If they match, that means the file\u2019s integrity is validated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have successfully downloaded the Prometheus file and now you will extract it to the&nbsp; <strong><code>\/opt<\/code><\/strong> directory using the tar command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">tar xvzf prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C \/opt<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to copy the binary files to&nbsp; <code>\/usr\/local\/bin<\/code> directory and fix the permissions.
