Why do you want 5.17. All ROOT versions with "odd" numbers are the development releases followed by the production release with the "even" number. I.e. the sequence of the "development" releases 5.17/x had been ended up with the production release 5.18. One is always recommended to use the production release if available.

Best Regards
