Getting Lazarus

Via CVS

You may download a CVS Client for Windows in: http://tortoisecvs.sourceforge.net/

Open a command or cmd prompt and while in the directory where you want to place the lazarus source dir issue the following commands:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.freepascal.org:/FPC/CVS
cvs login // (type "cvs" for the password)

Hint: To do a fresh download of all files enter: cvs -z3 checkout lazarus

Hint: To do an update on an existing directory do: cvs -z3 update lazarus

If you don't want to use cvs directly, a daily snapshot of the current cvs is available from the FPC ftp server.

Binaries for various platforms are also available via the Lazarus Sourceforge download area and via the main Lazarus homepage.
