====== Proxmox - Guests (VMs and Containers) - Download a Container Image ======

Before a Container Template can be used it needs to be downloaded into one of the storage areas.

<code bash>
pveam download local debian-10.0-standard_10.0-1_amd64.tar.gz
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  Use **local** for simple usage.

  * For clustered installations, it is preferred to use a shared storage so that all nodes can access those images.
