 If you want to deploy manually, unpack `mirage-firewall.tar.bz2` in domU. The tarball contains `vmlinuz`,

+### Deployment using saltstack
+If you're familiar how to run salt states in Qubes, you can also use the script `SaltScriptToDownloadAndInstallMirageFirewallInQubes.sls` to automatically deploy the latest version of mirage firewall in your Qubes OS. The script checks the checksum from the integration server and compares with the latest version provided in the github releases. It might be necessary to adjust the VM templates in the script which are used for downloading of the mirage unikernel. Also don't forget to change the VMs in which the uni kernel should be used or adjust the "Qubes Global Settings".

 ## Upgrading
 
 To upgrade from an earlier release, just overwrite `/var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels/mirage-firewall/vmlinuz` with the new version and restart the firewall VM.
