# Downloading package files

The **Files** tab on a package's details page lists the available archive files for that package. From this page, you can search and filter the file list to find a specific file, then download it directly.

## Downloading package files

To download a package file, click  **Download** in the **Actions** column. This downloads the archive file (`.tar.bz2`, `.conda`, `.whl`) for the package.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Downloading a package file does not install it into an environment. For information on how to install packages using Anaconda Navigator or conda, see [Installing packages](https://anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-org/installing-packages.md).

## Locating a package file

You can search for a specific package file by entering information such as its name, architecture, build, or version number in the **Search files** box.

Click the  info icon beside a file name to view detailed metadata for the selected package file.
