The best way to acquire the GETM source code is via anonymous CVS. With CVS you will get the stable version as well as the current (“bleeding edge”) development version of GETM. The second best way is to download the source as a compressed tarfile (see table at bottom of page). If you succeeded with the steps below, please go to the Installation instructions which are provided here: Compilation instructions. You are also invited to submit code changes.

Download stable GETM version via CVS: 

Below follows a short description on the steps necessary in order to get read-only access to the CVS repository. The specifications are Linux/UNIX specific but CVS clients also exists for other systems. (please note: Accessing the CVS repository via the pserver method requires that traffic on port 2401 is allow through the firewall. If that is not allowed it is NOT possible to use CVS as described above. In that case the source code must be downloaded via ftp from the links above.)

In order to download GETM stable version via cvs, the following steps will set the environment variable CVSROOT, create a GETM directory and download the source code via cvs.

Prepare cvs for (ba)sh shell use:

CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@bbh.homelinux.net:/public/cvs
export CVSROOT

or for (t)sh shell use: 

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@bbh.homelinux.net:/public/cvs 

If you don't know which shell you are using type 'echo $SHELL' into your command shell and use the appropriate commands above. To finally obtain the code via cvs simply paste the following lines into your shell and continue with the compilation instructions which are provided here: Compilation instructions:

cd ~ && mkdir GETM && cd GETM
cvs co -d v1.8.x -r v1_8_0 getm-src

Keep track on changes and keep the code up to date:

We keep a ChangeLog.

Assuming recommended directory installation:

cd ~/GETM/v1.8.x && cvs update

 Download stable GETM version via FTP: 

The code is also available via ftp from:

ftp://getm.eu/getm-releases/stable/getm-stable.tar.gz 

 There is no easy way to update ftp-installed code - except a new install.

Please continue with the compilation instructions which are provided here: Compilation instructions

Download GETM devel version via git or ftp: 

In order to obtain the new GETM devel releases, we will shift to 'git' for revision control. To get the latest version from git do:

git clone git://getm.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/getm/getm getm-git

The last option will be the local directory where getm will be saved.

 A history of changes can be found here .

The devel code is also available via ftp from:

ftp://getm.eu/getm-releases/devel/getm-devel.tar.gz 

Download older GETM versions:

If you need older GETM releases please search in the following ftp path:
