1.3.2 Downloading

The official releases of pyFormex can be downloaded from the pyFormex website. As of the writing of this manual, the latest release is pyFormex 0.8-a1. pyFormex is currently distributed in the form of a .tar.gz (tarball) archive. See 1.3.3 for how to proceed further.

Alternatively you can download the tarball releases from our local FTP server. The server may be slower, but occasionally you can find there an interim release or release candidate not (yet) available on the official server.

Finally, you can also get the latest development code from the SVN repository on the pyFormex website. If you have Subversion installed on your system, you can just do
   svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/pyformex/trunk pyformex
and the whole current pyFormex tree will be copied to a subdirectory pyformex on your current path.

Unless you want to help with the development or you absolutely need some of the latest features or bugfixes, the tarball releases are what you want to go for.
