Installing the library

 This page describes how to install <<Any23>>. The latest releases and the unstable snapshots are always available at the 
 {{{http://code.google.com/p/any23/downloads/list} downloads directory}} and under SVN, respectively.

Download the distribution

 Most users probably don't need to have day to day access to the source code as it changes. For these users we provide distribution packages via our {{{http://code.google.com/p/any23/downloads/list} downloads page}}.
 
 * Download either the <<".zip">> or <<".tar.gz">> file and just decompress the archive.

 
Access the Version Controlled Source Code

 For the latest snapshot please checkout the code from the SVN code repository and build the library.
