Squid is normally made available only in source form. You have to compile it on your own particular operating system. It is always a good idea to compile Squid from scratch because your system might be configured differently than mine, even though we both have the same operating system version.
Nonetheless, a few people are kind enough to make binary distributions available. If you use their packages, please drop them a quick ``thank you'' note.
