Getting the InterMine source code

All InterMine code is freely available under the open source LGPL license.

We use subversion to manage and distribute source code.

We recommend you check out the latest stable branch in /branches, for example:

> svn co svn://subversion.flymine.org/branches/intermine_0_93

You can specify a different local directory with an optional second argument, for example:

> svn co svn://subversion.flymine.org/branches/intermine_0_93 dev

You can check out the software from the trunk, but this isn't recommended as the trunk code is under constant development and may not be stable or thoroughly tested.

Download a tar.gz file

If you don't have subversion installed or are unable to check out from our repository due to local firewall issues you can download the latest release a tar.gz from here: http://www.flymine.org/download/intermine_0_93.tar.gz.

For example:

> wget http://www.flymine.org/download/intermine_0_93.tar.gz
> tar -zxvf intermine_0_93.tar.gz

However, if you are using InterMine with your own local changes we recommend using subversion if at all possible.
