| <h2>Getting the Code</h2> |
| |
| <p>Below are step by step instructions for how to check out the WebKit source code. |
| One of our contributors, Mark Rowe, has also made available <a href="http://nightly.webkit.org/">WebKit nightly builds</a> for those just interested in testing. |
| Follow the instructions below to obtain the code via subversion (svn).</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li><p>Install a Subversion Client.</p> |
| <p>The Subversion (svn) tool is required to access the WebKit source code. Download the |
| Mac OS X <a href="http://metissian.com/downloads/macosx/subversion/subversion-client-1.3.1.dmg">Subversion installer</a> and double-click to install.</p> |
| <li><p>Open the Terminal application.</p> |
| <p>Terminal can be found in the Utilities folder; a quick way to open the folder is the Finder Go menu.</p> |
| <li><p>Type this command to check out the entire WebKit source tree:</p> |
| <p class="code">svn checkout svn://anonsvn.opensource.apple.com/svn/webkit/trunk WebKit</p> |
| </li> |
| <p>After the checkout completes you should have all the source code on your system. The next step is |
| <a href="build.html">building</a> the code.</p> |
| </ol> |
| <p>Once you have checked out the code, you can update it at any time using the following command:</p> |
| <p class="code">WebKitTools/Scripts/update-webkit</p> |
| <p>It's handy to put the <tt>WebKitTools/Scripts</tt> directory in your shell path so you can type commands like <tt>update-webkit</tt> without specifying the path to the script.</p> |
