HowToGetLatestStendhal

Precompiled JAR files

You can download the latest stable version, Template:Version at the downloads page, http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=games/game_stendhal#downloads You can also use Git, but that code is actively developed and may be unstable. If you use the Git version, you must also compile the files, and create the JAR files.

Java Webstart

Java Webstart is a method of loading a blah.jar file, from the web. A user clicks on that link, and java handles the content, whatever it may be.

Stendhal Webstart

All you have to do is goto the main stendhal page at http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=games/game_stendhal and click on the "Play" image.

Source Code Via Git

Anonymous Git Access

To download the latest Stendhal source code with read-only access use the following command from a terminal or command line:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/arianne/stendhal

This will download the entire remote source code and create a local repository. To update the local repo at any time the git fetch, git merge, or git rebase commands can be used. Each uses a different method for adding changes locally. It is advised to read up on the differences.

Privileged Git Access

Sourceforge accounts with read/write privileges to the Arianne Git repositories can use their Sourceforge username and password to gain access via SSH:

git clone ssh://username@git.code.sf.net/p/arianne/stendhal
or
git clone https://username@git.code.sf.net/p/arianne/stendhal

You will be prompted for your SF password afterward. To commit changes use the git commit command and git push to push changes to the remote master repository. If the local repository is out of sync with remote it will be required to do a synchronization prior.
