Zefina  Zefina: Build: Get The Code

Before building the source code, you will need to get the code. There are two ways of obtaining the code, go to downloads and use fossil to clone the repository.

Downloading the source code is easy and quick to get going.

However, using fossil to clone the repository is the preferred method. (Fossil is a tool similar to git.) By cloning the repository, you get not only the code but the entire website including documentation.

The fossil command to clone the Zefina repository is:

> fossil clone \
  --admin-user YOUR_PROJECT_USERNAME \
  --no-open \
  --unversioned \
  https://YOUR_PROJECT_USERNAME@URL \
  Zefina.fossil

This will place the Zefina.fossil into your current directory, feel free to move it somewhere else.

Next create a directory for the repository files and cd into that directory. Now to open the Zefina repository into the current directory:

> cd /path/to/checkout/directory
> fossil open /path/to/Zefina.fossil

And for good measure you can also do one of the following:

> fossil checkout master

-- OR --

> fossil checkout trunk

Refer to Fossil: Tips to learn more about fossil.
