📥 Source Code Download Methods

There are three primary methods to obtain the code, depending on your needs.

1. Using repo & git from Gitee (Recommended)

This is the standard method for developers and those who want to work with the latest or most stable codebase.

• Prerequisites: You need to install git, git-lfs, and the repo tool. You should also register an account on Gitee and configure an SSH key for secure access.

• Latest Development Code ("Master" branch):

  bash

  repo init -u https://gitee.com/openharmony/manifest.git -b master --no-repo-verify
  repo sync -c
  repo forall -c 'git lfs pull'

  (To use SSH, replace the URL with git@gitee.com:openharmony/manifest.git) 

• Stable Release Version:
  Replace master with the specific version branch you need. For example, to get OpenHarmony 5.0:

  bash

  repo init -u https://gitee.com/openharmony/manifest.git -b OpenHarmony-5.0-Release --no-repo-verify
  repo sync -c
  repo forall -c 'git lfs pull'

2. Download via DevEco Marketplace

• Best for: Beginners or those who want a customized distribution by selecting specific components.

• How it works: You can browse and customize distributions on the DevEco Marketplace website. After making your selections, the system generates a bundle list, and you use a command-line tool called hpm-cli to download and install the bundles on your local machine.

3. Download Mirror Packages (Simple) 📦

• Best for: Quickly obtaining an older, stable version via a direct compressed file.

• Details: This method offers fast downloads from mirror sites but usually only for specific Long-Term Support (LTS) releases (like version 3.0). You can find the download links (.tar.gz files) and their checksums in the official documentation.
