Checking out the Mantid Code
From MantidProject
Subversion tools
Read/write access to Mantid requires a developer account and to use the "https" form of the repository URLs. Read only access does not require an account, but you must use the "http" rather than "https" forms of the URLs.
Windows:
Windows users should install tortoiseSVN from http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org which allows access to subversion commands from within windows explorer.
To create a local copy of the mantid code
- Create a directory called Mantid (Preferably at c:\)
- Right click on the new directory in windows explorer and select SVN Checkout.
- If you are a developer with a Mantid account:
- Enter https://svn.mantidproject.org/mantid/trunk as the repository url
- If you do not have an account, you can still get read-only access:
- Enter http://svn.mantidproject.org/mantid/trunk as the repository url
- Click OK and wait for the files to download from the server (this might take a while).
Linux:
On linux the command line tools tend to be used.
- If you are a developer with a Mantid account type:
svn --username "My Username" co https://svn.mantidproject.org/mantid/trunk Mantid
- If you do not have a developer account you can get read-only access by typing:
svn co http://svn.mantidproject.org/mantid/trunk Mantid
Which will create a local directory called Mantid Building the Mantid Code
