You can choose to download either the latest stable release or the current development version (which is frequently updated).

==Stable release==

[http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsf/files/ Download the source code distribution from Sourceforge], then unpack the directory with 
<pre>gunzip < madagascar-*.tar.gz | tar xvf -</pre>
or 
<pre>bunzip2 < madagascar-*.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -</pre>
The <tt>bz2</tt> file is smaller but takes longer to unpack. 

Next, follow [[Installation|Installation instructions]] to install.

==Current development version==

You can access the most recent Madagascar source code at the [https://github.com/ahay/src GitHub repository]

To download the source repository using [https://git-scm.com/ Git], run
<pre>
git clone <nowiki>https://github.com/ahay/src</nowiki> RSFSRC
</pre>

Replace <tt>RSFSRC</tt> with the path where you want to put the Madagascar source code.

Next, follow [[Installation|Installation instructions]] to install.

==Other packages==

Two other packages might be useful in conjunction with Madagascar:

===Reproducible figures===

Using Git, run
<pre>git clone <nowiki>https://github.com/ahay/figs</nowiki> $RSFROOT/share/madagascar/figs </pre>
  
This installs a large coalition of thousands of reproducible figures. It may take a long time to download and about 20 GB of disk space.
The figures are preserved for regression testing whenever the software or the environment changes.

You can reproduce the figures (excluding those generated with proprietary data or additional software) by running <tt>scons lock</tt> in individual project directories or by going to <tt>RSFSRC</tt> and running 
<pre>sfbooklist command="scons lock" book</pre>

===LaTeX package===
  
[[SEGTeX]] is a LaTeX package for geophysical publications. It can be used with Madagascar for writing [[Reproducible Documents|reproducible papers]].
