+## Downloading
+
+libuv can be downloaded either from the
+[GitHub repository](https://github.com/libuv/libuv)
+or from the [downloads site](http://dist.libuv.org/dist/).
+
+Starting with libuv 1.7.0, binaries for Windows are also provided. This is to
+be considered EXPERIMENTAL.
+
+Before verifying the git tags or signature files, importing the relevant keys
+is necessary. Key IDs are listed in the
+[MAINTAINERS](https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md)
+file, but are also available as git blob objects for easier use.
+
+Importing a key the usual way:
+
+ $ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \
+ --recv-keys AE9BC059
+
+Importing a key from a git blob object:
+
+ $ git show pubkey-saghul | gpg --import
+
+### Verifying releases
+
+Git tags are signed with the developer's key, they can be verified as follows:
+
+ $ git verify-tag v1.6.1
+
+Starting with libuv 1.7.0, the tarballs stored in the
+[downloads site](http://dist.libuv.org/dist/) are signed and an accomanying
+signature file sit alongside each. Once both the release tarball and the
+signature file are downloaded, the file can be verified as follows:
+
+ $ gpg --verify libuv-1.7.0.tar.gz.sign
+
## Build Instructions
