h1. Downloading the LDV sources 

 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> 

 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 you should first add the following lines to [[downloading sources with older version @~/.gitconfig@: 

 <pre> 
 [alias] 
        subinit = !"git submodule init; git submodule update ; git submodule foreach ''git subinit''" 
 </pre> 

 Note that the name of Git]].  

 this alias (at left-hand side of @=@ sign) should match the one invoked at the end of this line! 

 Then clone without @--recursive@, and update submodules manually: 

 <pre> 
     $ git clone git://forge.ispras.ru/ldv-tools.git 
     $ cd ldv-tools 
     $ git subinit 
 </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 @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 is found in the @INSTALL@ file. 

 LDV-tools take one or two hours to build.    If you''re tired waiting, make sure you tried our "*Online Verification*":http://linuxtesting.org/ldv/online, which uses the same backend as the one you''re building, and is deployed at our site.
