There are several ways to obtain EOSERV.

The recommended way for server admins is to download a pre-compiled binary.

The recommended way for developers is to check-out the directly from SVN.

== Downloading a Windows binary ==

Simply download the latest version of EOSERV from [[http://eoserv.net/download#binary]] and it's ready to go.

== Downloading an SVN snapshot ==

If SVN is really such a hassle you can download the latest SVN snapshots from [[http://eoserv.net/pub/files/snaps/]] (generated every few hours). This isn't recommended as it is much more difficult to create patches and keep EOSERV up to date.

On Windows, [[http://www.rarlab.com/|WinRAR]] can extract these files. On Linux, use the command <tt>tar -zxf eoserv-trunk-r<b>XXXX</b>.tar.gz</tt>

After downloading, see [[Compiling EOSERV]].

== Checking-out from SVN ==

See the walkthrough guide at [[EOSERV TortoiseSVN]].
