Pre-release Installation#

Sometimes we might ask you to test a development/pre-release release. This is the instruction on how to get this pre-release.

It is always helpful to have as many testers as we can, so if you want to run a pre-release without us asking, you are welcome to do so. But do note that bugs may occur.
