How to download PrestaShop
PrestaShop can be downloaded in two ways, depending on your needs.
Installer package (recommended)
The easiest way to get PrestaShop is to download the installer package from prestashop.com/versions.
This package is ready to install and includes the PrestaShop core along with a selection of commercial modules provided by PrestaShop SA. It is the recommended option for most merchants and agencies setting up a new store.
Note: The installer package integrates commercial products by PrestaShop SA. These are optional, but are bundled in the download for convenience.
Source archive (GitHub)
If you want to build your own distribution or need full control over what is included, you can download the source archive directly from GitHub releases.
This archive contains only the open-source core of PrestaShop, without any commercial additions. It is intended for developers and integrators who want to assemble and package their own distribution.
For guidance on how to build a distribution from the sources, refer to the distribution documentation.
