E-mailThere are two ways to acquire Sakai source code. You can choose to download a packaged *.zip or *tar.gz file from Sakai's release page or check out the code directly from our code repository.
Sakai Packaged Releases
Packaged releases are available at
http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/
Once, you have downloaded the code, choose a location to unpack the Sakai source code (your home directory is fine). When unpacked you will see a directory named sakai-src.
Sakai Code Repository
You can check out the source code directly from our Subversion (SVN) code repository. You might wish to do this, for example, in order to grab the maintenance branch, which includes the latest set of bug fixes. You must first install a Subversion client package appropriate for your operating system. SVN Packages can be found at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html. If you're on a Windows platform we also recommend that you take a look at TortoiseSVN. If you're working with Eclipse, you might want to take a look at the Subclipse plugin.
Once you have installed your SVN client, check out the maintenance branch into a local folder with the following command:
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai_2-5-x/
