'How can I install Velero Client on my Ubuntu machine?

I tried both option 1 and option 2 as listed in the documentation, but no tar ball was downloaded.

I am truly confused. Is it necessary to install Velero locally and a server in the Kube cluster?

I tried on both Windows and Linux, and got no result. If you can explain the procedure for both operating systems, I would appreciate it.
