sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mina*.list
echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://packages.o1test.net $(lsb_release -cs) alpha" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mina-alpha.list
sudo apt-get update
```
Then, install the package(s) that you need:
**Mina Daemon:** `sudo apt-get install -y mina-devnet=1.4.1alpha1-3f42da6`
**Mina Archive:** `sudo apt-get install -y mina-archive=1.4.1alpha1-3f42da6`

### Docker Images:
Every docker image is built for each of the supported platforms, replace `CODENAME` in the images below with your choice of `focal`,  `buster`, or `bullseye` to select the base docker image.

### Sandbox Node: For testing in an isolated, single-node network without snarks

Just `docker run -it --name mina-demo -e RUN_DEMO=true minaprotocol/mina-daemon:1.4.1alpha1-3f42da6-CODENAME-devnet` and go!
