Glest, being open source, is available for many Operating Systems, and since no one operating system works the same, it's necessary to use different methods to get Glest for your operating system.
Before download glest, you should consider that it's developed has stopped in april 2009. There are two projects which continue and have added lots of features, factions and maps since then. Glest Advanced Engine is especially known for offering a richer single player experience, MegaGlest for better and more stable online-gaming.
