# Download

Several ways to download the ZOO-Project source code are available and explained in this section.

Warning

The ZOO-Project svn is the place where developement happens. Checking out svn is the best way to be always up to date.

## ZOO-Project SVN

Download the latest ZOO-Project source code using the following svn command:

    svn checkout http://svn.zoo-project.org/svn/trunk zoo-project

Registered ZOO-Project developers would prefer the following:

    sed "s:\[tunnels\]:\[tunnels\]\nzoosvn = /usr/bin/ssh -p 1046:g" -i ~/.subversion/config
    svn co svn+zoosvn://svn.zoo-project.org/var/svn/repos/trunk zoo-project

Note

The ZOO-Project svn server listens on the 1046 (1024+22) portvb(instead of 22 by default), so please use a specific tunnel to access the svn server, as shown in the command above.

## ZOO-Project releases archives

Each new ZOO-Project major release is also made available on the project official website as .zip and .tar.bz2 archives. Head to the Download section to get the latest or older ZOO-Project releases.

Warning

Don’t use older versions of ZOO-Project if you want to use new features and avoid older code issues. Prefer svn or github instead.

## ZOO-Project Github

The ZOO-Project svn is mirrored in this Github repository in case you would like to fork it.
