Where you got it from is your business.
Well, this last statement is probably worth a slight extension - in general, the three basic options for getting the starting compiler binary are: 1) Install the last official release (as already suggested in your previous statement) - obviously the easiest option if possible for your particular case. 2) Get a bootstrap compiler binary for your platform (e.g. ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.0/bootstrap/). 3) Cross-compile the compiler binary (if not available from either of the two previous options) on one of the architectures/platforms supported in the last release.
