# Downloading or updating #
Whatever your operating system, `git` software is needed. If you did not installed it check
again the [prerequisites] (https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/lmgc90/lmgc90_user/wikis/prerequisites)
# <a name=downloading>Downloading</a> #
Due to some flaws of our web server, the graphical interfaces of Git usually do not work. Thus you must
use some terminal commands (on Linux or MacOs, start a terminal, on Windows start the `Git BASH` program).
This should be fixed by next version, some keep some hope !
## Download links ##
* [Downloading] (#downloading)
* [Updating] (#updating)
Linux/MacOs users:
* [version 2017.rc2](https://seafile.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/f/5695b3514d/?raw=1)
## <a name=downloading>Downloading</a> ##
Windows 32bits:
* [version 2017.rc2](https://seafile.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/f/1b0a5ce5c3/?raw=1)
In your terminal create a directory in which you will download LMGC90 software
```shell
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir LMGC90
cd LMGC90
```
The choice to put it in the `Desktop/LMGC90` directory here is purely an example, you should put it in any directory of your convenience provided that
you have read/write access on it.
Windows 32bits:
* [version 2017.rc2](https://seafile.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/f/892bc318bb/?raw=1)
Then to download the software run:
```shell
git clone https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/lmgc90/lmgc90_user.git
```
## Uncompress ##
This should create a directory *lmgc90_user* which will contain the following subdirectories:
Then uncompress the downloaded archive wherever you want on your system. This should create a directory *lmgc90_user* which will contain the following subdirectories:
* *src* : the sources of LMGC90 software
* *examples* : the user examples working with the sources
* *manuals* : a list of manuals/documentation for the software in pdf format
* *docs* : the html documentation generated from the sources
* *build* : (Windows only) the pre-compiled version of LMGC90
## <a name=updating>Updating</a> ##
If you modified some of the files (for instance the notebook), you must put them back in their original state
before updating them. So if you want to keep your modifications, you must first rename those files.
To get the list of modified files you can either use a graphical interface of Git, or in the terminal, after
going to the right directory (in Windows you can just right-click in the `lmgc90_user` directory and select `open with Git BASH`),
run:
```shell
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull origin master
```
