    <h2>Installing Haveno</h2>
    <p>Haveno can be installed on Linux, macOS, and Windows by using a third party installer and network. We do not endorse any networks at this time.</p>
    <p>A test network is also available for users to make test trades using Monero's stagenet. See the <a href="https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/blob/master/docs/installing.md">instructions</a> to build Haveno and connect to the network.</p>
    <p>Alternatively, you can <a href="https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/blob/master/docs/create-mainnet.md">start your own network.</a></p>
    <p>Note that Haveno is being actively developed. If you find issues or bugs, please <a href="https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues">let us know.</a></p>
