# Download

Most users use DataFusion as a library in their Rust projects by adding it as a dependency
in their `Cargo.toml` file and downloading it from the Rust [crates.io] package registry.

For example:

```toml
[dependencies]
datafusion = "54.0.0"
```

While DataFusion is distributed via [crates.io] as a convenience, the
official Apache DataFusion releases are provided as source artifacts.

[crates.io]: https://crates.io/crates/datafusion

## Releases

You can find the latest releases, signatures and checksums on
the [ASF Release Page](https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/datafusion)

For previous releases, please check the [archive](https://archive.apache.org/dist/datafusion/).

For releases earlier than 37.0.0, please check [Arrow's archive](https://archive.apache.org/dist/arrow/).

## Notes

- When downloading a release, please verify the OpenPGP compatible signature (or failing that, check the SHA-512); these should be fetched from the main Apache site.
- The [KEYS] file contains the public keys used for signing release. It is recommended that (when possible) a web of trust is used to confirm the identity of these keys.
- Please download the [KEYS] file as well as the .asc signature files.

[keys]: https://downloads.apache.org/datafusion/KEYS

### To verify the signature of the release artifact

You will need to download both the release artifact and the .asc signature file for that artifact. Then verify the signature by:

- Download the KEYS file and the .asc signature files for the relevant release artifacts.
- Import the KEYS file to your GPG keyring:

  ```shell
  gpg --import KEYS
  ```

- Verify the signature of the release artifact using the following command:

  ```shell
  gpg --verify <artifact>.asc <artifact>
  ```

### To verify the checksum of the release artifact

You will need to download both the release artifact and the .sha512 checksum file for that artifact. Then verify the checksum by:

```shell
shasum -a 512 -c <artifact>.sha512
```
