= !MethLab from Subversion =

There are currently two ways to get the 'bleeding edge' version of !MethLab but before you download it, make sure you have the necessary [wiki:Dependencies] installed.

== Download a development snapshot ==

The easiest way of getting the !MethLab sourcecode is downloading an up to date snapshot of the repository [http://methlab.thegraveyard.org/changeset/HEAD/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip here]. The advantage is that you need no extra tools besides your webbrowser and an unzip program to get and extract it. Downside is that if you want to update the snapshot, you'll have to download it again.

== Using Subversion ==

If you have a Subversion ('svn') client installed, you can also download a copy of the !MethLab sourcecode using that. The advantage is that it's easy to update your copy to the latest and greatest.
