Typical user workflow

Check out the subversion trunk (possibly unstable, latest development)

The trunk can be checked out as follows:

svn co http://www.tddft.org/svn/octopus/trunk

A usual mistake is that people often forget the trunk at the end and end up checking out all branches and tags.

Check out a branch

You can also checkout the stable version of octopus. For instance the soon-to-be-stable version (the 2.1.x series) can be checked out using

svn co http://www.tddft.org/svn/octopus/branches/2.1.x
