There is no public release yet. This page describes what the first release will be.
In development
MATE Wayland Desktop has not made its first release, so there is nothing to download today. When the first ISO is published, this page will carry the download link, the file size, the SHA256 checksum and the command to verify it.

How installation will work
Write the ISO to a USB stick
The same image also works on a DVD.
Start the computer from it
The image starts on both BIOS and UEFI machines and opens a live session, so you can try the desktop without changing your disk.
Install to disk
The Calamares installer copies the system to your disk. Full-disk encryption is optional.
Installing on an existing Ubuntu system
MATE Wayland Desktop will also be installable on existing Ubuntu systems. This is planned and is not available yet.
Building it yourself
The full build is reproducible with one command from the source repository.
