## Linux You can choose to use a pre-built version of PDF.js, or build PDF.js from source.
## Pre-built PDF.js
When the source code of PDF.js changes, the [online demo](http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html) is automatically updated. The source of all demo files can easily be accessed at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/tree/gh-pages/.
These files can also be uploaded to your server to use PDF.js to display PDF files from your website
1. Download https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/archive/gh-pages.zip.
2. Extract the zip file (a directory called "pdf.js-gh-pages" will be created).
3. Copy the following directories to your website:
* pdf.js-gh-pages/build/
* pdf.js-gh-pages/web/
The web/ directory contains a 1 MB pdf file called "compressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf". This file is only used as an example for the demo and can safely be removed if you need disk space.
4. If you want to open a PDF from your website with PDF.js, simply link to the viewer and pass the location of the PDF file. For example:
```html
<a href="/web/viewer.html?file=%2Fyourpdf.pdf">Open yourpdf.pdf with PDF.js</a>
```
