## Enable Hyperscale

To enable the [Hyperscale main repositories](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/repositories/main/) on an existing CentOS Stream system run

```bash
sudo dnf install centos-release-hyperscale
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
```

We also provide a set of [experimental packages](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/repositories/experimental/) that can be enabled with

```bash
sudo dnf install centos-release-hyperscale-experimental
```

## Download Hyperscale

The CentOS Hyperscale SIG produces a number of images that integrate and showcase the technologies the SIG focuses on. Please report any issues with these images on our [tracker](https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/spin-bugs).

[Live ISOs](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/spins/workstation/) are available in both GNOME and KDE flavors. These can both be used to evaluate the system and to perform an installation. [Cloud images](https://sigs.centos.org/hyperscale/content/spins/cloud/) can be used to deploy CentOS Hyperscale on various public clouds.
