You can install drush via Composer, a .phar, or from git.  Your local machine may need multiple versions of drush to match the versions available on live sites.  In that instance, let's consider using the methods described on this page.
7 2 Jon Goldberg
When installing drush on a live site, installing a .phar file is preferred.  For now, let's default to using drush 7 until [issue 1581](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/1581) is fixed, then let's standardize on drush 8.
