|
|
rodo's source code exists in a public git repository. This makes
|
|
accessing the code convenient, because you don't need to sign in or
|
|
register for an account to download it.
|
|
|
|
### Downloading rodo using git
|
|
|
|
You can use tools such as `git` to download rodo's source code. You
|
|
will need the source code to install rodo.
|
|
|
|
#### To download rodo using git
|
|
|
|
1. Run `git clone https://git.m455.casa/m455/rodo.git`
|
|
|
|
**Note**: This will create a `rodo` directory in your current directory.
|
|
|
|
## Installing rodo
|
