# Obtaining RETRO
The RETRO source code can be obtained from http://forthworks.com/retro
## Stable Releases
I periodically make stable releases. This will typically happen
two to four times per year.
These are good for those needing a solid base that doesn't change
frequently.
## Snapshots
A lot of development happens between releases. I make snapshots
of my working source tree nightly (and often more often).
This is what I recommend for most users. It reflects my latest
system and is normally reliable as it's used daily in production.
## Repository
To stay fully current, use the repository.
I use a Fossil repository to manage development. To obtain a
copy of the repository install Fossil and:
```
fossil clone https://forthworks.com:8000 retro.fossil
mkdir retro
cd retro
fossil open /path/to/retro.fossil
```
