Setting up Tailscale with static binaries (unsupported)

If you would like to try Tailscale on a Linux distribution we don’t yet support, we offer statically-compiled binaries on a best-effort basis.

If you use these binaries, please also drop us a line at info@tailscale.com, so that we can consider adding official support for your distribution.

We offer static binaries for x86 and ARM CPUs, in both 32-bit and 64-bit variants.

Download the static binaries for your CPU architecture:
- Stable release track
- Unstable development track
Unpack the archive
```
tar xvf tailscale_VERSION_ARCH.tgz
```
Start tailscaled
```
sudo tailscaled --state=tailscaled.state
```
If you want to configure systemd to run tailscaled automatically, a service configuration is available in the systemd/ subdirectory of the unpacked archive.
Authenticate and connect your machine to your Tailscale network
```
sudo tailscale up
```
Visit the admin console and authorize your new endpoint. If you signed in with a @gmail.com address, it is automatically authorized. (Note: You will need to occasionally reauthenticate unless you disable key expiry.)
Obtain your Tailscale IP address
```
ip addr show tailscale0
```
Check out Next Steps for steps on verifying that a single endpoint is working. With multiple endpoints, simple pings are a good way to start.
