Getting VDrift should follow getting the prerequisites. See [[Software requirements]].

Getting VDrift enables VDrift to be build. See [[Compiling VDrift]].

Getting VDrift consists of getting its two major parts, the source code and the data. Both are described below.

= Latest Release =

VDrift releases are available on [http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrift/ SourceForge]. It is recommended that users download the very latest release for their operating system.

== Version Numbering ==

Each release of VDrift has a version number corresponding to the date of release, in the '''YYYY-MM-DD''' format. The latest release will be have the version number closest to the current date.

== Operating Systems ==

Currently, downloadable releases are usually provided for [[:Category:Operating Systems:Linux|Linux]], [[:Category:Operating Systems:Mac OS X|Mac OS X]], and [[:Category:Operating Systems:Windows|Windows]]. The installer package for a given operating system will be marked as such in the SourceForge download system.

=== Linux ===

You can get the code from a source package for a particular version, or you can [[Getting the development version|get the development version]].

=== Source Package ===

[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=137283 Download] the latest VDrift source package and unpack the archive.
tar jxvf vdrift-yyyy-mm-dd-src.tar.bz2

=== Windows ===
=== Mac OS ===

= Development Version =

VDrift's code is kept in a Git repository on GitHub. To get the development version, you must "check out" the code from this repository.

==Browsing the repositories==
VDrift's source on the GitHub web site is at https://github.com/VDrift/vdrift/. Here you may browse the VDrift repositories and even download single files. This is very useful for examining changes between different revisions, in a user-friendly manner.

==Checking out the code==
If you want to do much work on VDrift you'll need to check out an copy of the source code and your platform's dependencies.

===Linux/Unix===
Install a git client (eg. [http://git-scm.com/ Git]). If you are using a Linux distribution you can search for it in the package manager. When you have installed it you need to open a terminal and run the following code:
git clone git://github.com/VDrift/vdrift.git vdrift
It will download the current development version in the subfolder ''vdrift''. Next, [[Getting_the_development_version#Checking_out_the_data|check out the data]].

===Windows===
The best solution for Windows is to download [http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ MSysGit]. After installing it, open Windows Explorer and go to the directory to which you want to download the VDrift source code. Right-click and click Git GUI Here. Select Open Existing Repository. In the next screen you need to fill in the URL of the repository which is git://github.com/VDrift/vdrift.git. Simply click OK, and the source code will be downloaded. Then do the same, but with the URL git://github.com/VDrift/vdrift-win.git and make sure that it downloads in a ''/vdrift-win'' directory in the main vdrift directory. Next, [[Getting_the_development_version#Checking_out_the_data|check out the data]].

===Mac OS X===
First you will need to obtain a git client (eg. [http://mac.github.com/ GitHub for Mac]). Once you have a working Git client open a terminal and navigate to where you wish to download the VDrift source code. Then run the following code:
git clone git://github.com/VDrift/vdrift.git vdrift
to download the lastest source code to the subfolder ''vdrift''. Then navigate to the ''vdrift'' folder:
cd vdrift
and download the mac dependencies into the subfolder ''vdrift-mac'':
git clone git://github.com/VDrift/vdrift-mac.git vdrift-mac
Finally [[Getting_the_development_version#Checking_out_the_data|check out the data]].

==Checking out the data==
The data set is currently only available from the SourceForge SVN (https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data). It needs to be checked out in a ''/data'' directory in the main vdrift directory. If you are using a command-line SVN client and have the VDrift repository checked out in a directory called ''/home/user/vdrift'', you would do this:
cd /home/user/vdrift
svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data data

VDrift's code is kept in a Git repository on GitHub. To get the development version, you must "check out" the code from this repository.
