Accessing the source code

Always be aware that LimeSurvey Source code is bleeding edge. Do not use it for production purposes!

As for many other free software projects only community support is available.

Access the LimeSurvey source code with a Subversion client for your operating system.

For Windows we recommend: TortoiseSVN. TortoiseSVN integrates nicely with explorer and is very easy to use.
For Mac we recommend: subversion. Commandline all the way ;)

Download and install TortoiseSVN. Reboot after install.
Create a destination directory for the source
Change to that directory
Right-click into the directory and choose 'SVN Checkout'
You'll be prompted for the repository URL. Enter the following URL:
1. For LimeSurvey 1.x latest stable source (including fixes): https://limesurvey.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/limesurvey/source/limesurvey
2. For LimeSurvey 1.x latest development source (unstable, including newer features): https://limesurvey.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/limesurvey/source/limesurvey_dev
3. For LimeSurvey 2.x source: https://limesurvey.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/limesurvey/source/limesurvey20
That's it. The source code should be downloading now.

Download and install subversion.
From a terminal window navigate to a directory that you would like to checkout the code to
Type one of the following into the terminal:

+For LimeSurvey 1.x source:

For LimeSurvey 1.x latest development source (unstable, including newer features):

+For LimeSurvey 2.x source:

Once the checkout is complete there will be a folder named 'limsurvey' (or dir_name) in your current terminal working directory containing the source.
