h1. Downloading and Building LDV
LDV sources are stored in several Git repositories. To download them, you currently need a "Git version control system":http://git-scm.com/ installed at your machine. Git is free software, and you can download it "here":http://git-scm.com/download.
h2. Downloading all sources
We recommend using Git of version 1.6.6 or newer. With this version getting sources is easy:
<pre>
$ git clone --recursive git://forge.ispras.ru/ldv-tools.git
</pre>
(you''ll download about 900 Mb, and the build will span to up to 5 Gb)
If, upon executing the command, it says that @--recursive@ is not supported, then you''re running an older version of Git. If you don''t want to upgrade, please, refer to [[downloading sources with older version of Git]].
Current stable version is @v0.4@. To get it, after downloading, please perform:
<pre>
$ cd ldv-tools && git checkout v0.4 && git submodule update --init --recursive
</pre>
Downloading sources of subprojects (submodules) is crucial. *LDV-tools won''t build without submodules*.
h2. Building LDV-tools
After you downloaded all the sources, you may examine source:INSTALL file for further instructions.
Note that LDV-tools has a considerable number of *prerequisites*. A full installation of LDV-tools requires C++, Java and OCaml compilers, Perl and Ruby interpreters and some modules/gems for them, and a web server that runs PHP 5. A full and concise list of prerequisites can be found in the source:INSTALL file.
LDV-tools take one or two hours to build.
