# Obtaining a Source Distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The source tarball of the most recent stable release can be downloaded
|
|
|
|
|
from the [Nix homepage](http://nixos.org/nix/download.html). You can
|
|
|
|
|
also grab the [most recent development
|
|
|
|
|
release](http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/release/latest-finished#tabs-constituents).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the most recent sources of Nix can be obtained from its
|
|
|
|
|
[Git repository](https://github.com/NixOS/nix). For example, the
|
|
|
|
|
following command will check out the latest revision into a directory
|
|
|
|
|
called `nix`:
|
|
|
|

```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nix
|
|
|
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, specific releases can be obtained from the
|
|
|
|
|
[tags](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tags) of the repository.
