### How to install:

  * **GNU/Linux instructions:**
  
    * Open the terminal and type the following commands:
    
      ```shell
      $ tar jxvf aria2-1.36.0-linux-gnu-[arch]-build1.tar.bz2
      $ cd aria2-1.36.0-linux-gnu-[arch]-build1
      $ sudo make install
      ````

  * **Windows instructions:**
  
    * Unzip the package with [7-zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) or [Winrar](http://www.rarlab.com/).
    * Copy the files to a folder. For example: `C:\Program Files\aria2`
    * Add the folder to [PATH](https://www.google.es/search?q=add+folder+to+PATH+on+Windows) variable.

### CA Certificates on Windows (HTTPS):

To perform downloads using **HTTPS**, is necessary the ca-certificates. For default, Linux binaries read the certificates from **/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt**, but with Windows binaries are necessary define the path of certificates.

You can define the path of the certificates permanently using `aria2.conf` located on `C:\Users\<user>\.aria2\`. If you use Windows XP, the file is located on `C:\Documents and settings\<user>\.aria2\`. For example, you just have to add the following line:

```shell
ca-certificate=C:\Program Files\aria2\certs\ca-certificates.crt
```

If you prefer load the certificates manually, you can use the following command:

```shell
C:\PATH\> aria2c --ca-certificate=<PATH-TO-CERTIFICATE> <URL>
```

Also, is possible disable the use of certificates with the following command:

```shell
C:\PATH\> aria2c --check-certificate=false <URL>
```
