Download the package

On the download page we offer complete installable packages of OpenScholar. These packages are the quickest and easiest way to install OpenScholar, using them is highly recommended.

Dowload the install profile

However it is also possible to assemble OpenScholar yourself using the same process we use. OpenScholar is a Drupal install profile and which lives on drupal.org. Our install profile references many Drupal modules and other projects, so we use Drush make build system to pull all the code together into one package. [Instructions]

Download from the SVN repository

OpenScholar is maintained and developed using the Subversion version control system. The OpenScholar file repository is hosted on sourceforge.net. Developers are welcome to "checkout" the project from sourceforge.net.

The OpenScholar svn tree is divided into three main areas:

trunk - The OpenScholar development team uses the svn "trunk" as the main development branch. You will find the lastest versions of the project here. However new code and themes committed here are often in the process of being tested and revised. To download the trunk to your current directory, issue this command (assuming you have Subversion installed):

svn co https://scholar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scholar/trunk .

branches - The branches area holds each major release of the OpenScholar Project. Major releases are apt to be more stable than the trunk because more testing and bug fixes have been implemented before committing the branch. To download a branch to your current directory, make sure the svn checkout URL points to the "branches" directory, then the branch name on sourceforge.net. For example:

svn co https://scholar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scholar/branches/SCHOLAR-2-0-BETA5 .

tags - The tags area is reserved for minor releases of a particular branch (or major release). Minor releases usually address important updates, such as priority level enhancements or bug fixes, that have been reported or discovered from real use cases and ongoing testing. For example, to download a minor release for SCHOLAR-2-0-BETA5:

svn co https://scholar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scholar/tags/SCHOLAR-2-0-BETA5-3 .
