| − | Getting VDrift should follow getting the prerequisites. See [[Software requirements]].
| + | #REDIRECT [[Downloading]] |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
