Getting Kawa

You can compile Kawa from the source distribution. Alternatively, you can install the pre-compiled binary distribution.

You can get Kawa sources and binaries from the Kawa ftp site ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/, or from a mirror site.

The current release of the Kawa source code is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-3.1.1.tar.gz. (To unpack .tar.gz files Windows users can use 7-Zip, which is Free Software.)

The corresponding pre-compiled release is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-3.1.1.zip. The most recent snapshot is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-latest.zip. Instructions for using either are here.

Getting the development sources using Git

The Kawa sources are managed using a git repository. If you want the very latest version grab a git client, and then check out the source using this command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/kashell/Kawa.git

After a checkout you will need to run:

./autogen.sh

before proceding with instructions for building the source distribution.

Once you have it checked out, you can keep it up-to-date with git pull.

You can also browse the git archive online.
