I’m confused by the **zrok Docs 2.0 (Current)** documentation regarding v2.0, v1 and a `zrok2` binary.

I installed it by `apt install zrok` but there is no zrok2 binary or package available.

`zrok status` says it’s `v1.1.11 \[1d736435\]\`

The download link on the page offers `v1.1.11/zrok_1.1.11_linux_amd64.tar.gz`, which I assume is the same version.

BTW, on the page [Install | NetFoundry Documentation](https://netfoundry.io/docs/zrok/guides/install/), the link to the GUIDE is broken.

On the Install/Linux page, we have a third, opaque way to install zrok:  
`curl -sSf https://get.openziti.io/install.bash | sudo bash -s zrok`  
and this one seems to install v1.1.11 too.

Could someone enlighten me what's the deal with v2? TIA.

Hi @lbreuss The v2 rollout is just beginning(still in release candidate) & we are in process of rolling out all the downstream packages to all the various providers. Currently the v2 is opt in & you can find the compiled binaries in the public repository: [Releases · openziti/zrok · GitHub](https://github.com/openziti/zrok/releases)
