<h1 >Downloads</h1>
<h2>Official Releases</h2>
<p>
The latest versions of the libvirt C library can be downloaded from:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>
<li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Hourly development snapshots</h2>
<p>
Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the latest CVS server
source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees
about their stability:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>
<li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>CVS repository access</h2>
<p>
The master source repository uses <a href="http://ximbiot.com/cvs/cvshome/docs/">CVS</a>
and anonymous access is provided. Prior to accessing the server is it necessary
to authenticate using the password <code>anoncvs</code>. This can be accomplished with the
<code>cvs login</code> command:
</p>
<pre>
# cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@libvirt.org:2401/data/cvs login
</pre>
<p>
Once authenticated, a checkout can be obtained using
</p>
<pre>
# cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@libvirt.org:2401/data/cvs co libvirt
</pre>
<p>
The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a checkout
it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in templates
using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command. As an example, to do a complete
build and install it into your home directory run:
</p>
<pre>
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
make
make install
</pre>
<h2>GIT repository mirror</h2>
<p>
The CVS source repository is also mirrored using GIT, and is available
for anonymous access via:
</p>
<pre>
git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/libvirt.git
</pre>
<p>
It can also be browsed at
</p>
<pre>
<a href="http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary">http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary</a>
