These instructions introduce you to the quick and easy process to try Zing 13 from a tar.gz archive.

Make sure your system meets the system requirements listed in Zing Installation Instructions.

Step 1: Download Zing 13

Download Zing for Java SE 13 from https://cdn.azul.com/.

Step 2: Get a Zing License

Sign up for a Zing Trial License in order to obtain your Zing Trial Token.
Check the Zing Trial Token email you received from Azul and locate your Zing Trial Token (if you did not receive the email in your inbox, check your Spam or Junk email folders).
Download your license:

mkdir ~/.zing
wget -O- https://trial-licenses.azul.com/redeem/<Zing_Trial_Token>  > ~/.zing/license

Step 3: Uncompress the Zing Archive

Uncompress the downloaded tar.gz archive on the host machine where the Java applications will be run:
```
tar xzvf zing<zvm_version>-<jdk_version>.tar.gz
```
Note: The gzip and tar utilities are required to install the ZVM tar.gz archive on Linux host platforms.
Verify that the Zing Virtual Machine is successfully unpacked:

/<uncompressed_zing_archive_directory>/bin/java -version

The output should look similar to the snippet below:
