== Cloning iDempiere ==

iDempiere sources are hosted at [http://bitbucket.org/idempiere/idempiere Atlassian Bitbucket], you can download the complete project with:

 cd $HOME/sources
 hg clone https://bitbucket.org/idempiere/idempiere

Please replace $HOME/sources with the folder where you wish to download the whole sources, at least 2 GB are required.

== Local experimentation clone ==

Once you have downloaded the sources from bitbucket you can easily clone locally your downloaded repository (for example for experimentation purposes) with an instruction like this:

 cd $HOME/sources
 hg clone idempiere myexperiment

This way you could experiment with a local clone instead of the downloaded from bitbucket (in order to keep it pristine).

== Keeping up to date ==

When you want to synchronize your local clone with bitbucket again you can do it with:

 cd $HOME/sources/idempiere
 hg pull -u

and/or, similarly for your local clone

 cd $HOME/sources/myexperiment
 hg pull -u

Note that first one will pull from bitbucket, and second will pull from your local clone.
