You can also use this link to the latest version, instead of the URL above. The link is updated a few days after each release.您也可以使用此链接到最新版本，而不是用上面的URL。链接在每次发布版本几天后更新。
Installing MultiChain – Windows 在Windows系统上安装多链
Download http://www.multichain.com/download/multichain-windows-1.0-beta-2.zip and extract its contents to your chosen directory.
从http://www.multichain.com/download/multichain-windows-1.0-beta-2.zip下载压缩包，解压内容到你选定的目录下。
Compiling from sources 从源编译
If you prefer, you can also compile MultiChain for Ubuntu Linux, Windows or Mac OS X from the source code at Github. 如果您愿意，还可以从Github的源代码编译Ubuntu Linux，Windows或Mac OS X的多链。
Next steps下一步
Once MultiChain is installed, you can proceed with the steps in Getting Started or dive straight into the developer guide. You can also install the Explorer for web-based browsing of your blockchain’s activity or the Web Demo for a simple interface for many APIs.
一旦安装了MultiChain，您可以继续执行“入门翻译版”中的步骤或直接进入开发人员指南。 您还可以安装资源管理器，以便基于Web浏览的区块链的活动或进入Web Demo来获得许多API的简单界面。
Upgrading MultiChain 更新升级多链
1.Stop any running nodes: multichain-cli [chain-name] stop (on Linux use ps -x to check for multichaind processes).
用multichain-cli [chain-name] stop 来停止正在运行的节点（或者linux用 ps -x 来检查 multichaind的进程）
2.Follow the regular installation instructions, overwriting the older executables.
跟随正常的安装指导，覆盖旧的可执行文件
3. Restart any nodes required:multichaind [chain-name] -daemon
用multichaind [chain-name] -daemon重新启动需要更新的节点
翻译注：这里要注意，如果更新升级了一个多链节点，其他节点也要一起更新到同一版本，否则节点之间可能会互相看不到对方。
