The best way to acquire the GETM source code is via anonymous CVS. With CVS you will get 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). Installation instructions are provided here: Compilation instructions. You are also invited to submit code changes.

Download GETM 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.

First the environment variable CVSROOT has to be set:
For (ba)sh use:

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

For (t)sh use:

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

From release v1.6.x (stable) and v1.7.x (devel) a new directory structure for the GETM source code has been introduced. Following the instructions given below will make the correct structure for use with the provided examples.

mkdir $HOME/GETM
cd $HOME/GETM

To check out the source code do: For the stable release:

cvs co -d v1.6.x -r v1_6_0 getm-src
ln -s v1.6.x getm-stable

For the devel release:

cvs co -d v1.7.x getm-src
ln -s v1.7.x getm-devel

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 from the links above.
