Get Source Code



The instructions below tell you how to get the latest source code under development.  This code is not guaranteed to be stable.  If you need to install Mifos for test, you may want to use the demonstration or test servers.

Overview

Access the source code repository for this project in one of the following ways:

If you wish to contribute to the project's Subversion repository, you must have "write" permissions as a project member.

TortoiseSVN Client

TortoiseSVN is a Windows Explorer shell extension, generally accessed via the right-click context menu on Explorer windows (including your Desktop).

 

  1. Install Tortoise.   Instructions  for using Tortoise are on the Tortoise Basics page.
  2. If this is your first Subversion checkout, create a folder in Windows Explorer to hold all of your Subversion project folders. Then create a subfolder for this project.

  3. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder created to hold this project.

  4. Select File - SVN Checkout.... The SVN Checkout dialog box will appear. (You may also access this dialog by selecting SVN Checkout... from the context menu presented when you right-click on your Explorer window's background.)

  5. Enter the URL of the repository:

    https://mifos.dev.java.net/svn/mifos/trunk

    Click OK. Enter password.

  6. If you are prompted for authentication information, you must provide your username (guest) and password.

    User "guest" has an empty password.

    Toggle the "save authentication" option to govern whether or not your username and password will be stored on your system. If left unselected, future invocations of TortoiseSVN will prompt you again for this information.

    Click OK. Enter password.

  7. You will see list of files scrolling by as the project data is checked out into your folder.

  8. Repeat the project checkout process for each additional Subversion project you wish to check out.

Subversion Command-line Client

The Subversion command-line client (svn) is used at a command shell, such as in a Command Prompt window on the Windows® platform, or any number of available shells on a flavor of Unix.

  1. Use svn checkout to checkout this project's main (trunk/) development branch:

    svn checkout https://mifos.dev.java.net/svn/mifos/trunk mifostrunk --username guest

    User "guest" has an empty password.

  2. You will see list of files scrolling by as the project data is checked out into your folder.

  3. Repeat the project checkout process for each additional Subversion project you wish to check out.
