This documentation is for versions 1 & 2 of Mobile Web OSP.

There are two options for downloading and installing Mobile Web OSP.

Grabbing a ZIP or TAR File

GitHub, where the project source code is hosted, will archive the latest version of the code into a ZIP or TAR file for easy downloading for those users who don't have Git. To do so:

1. Go to the project page on GitHub
2. Click the green "download" button
3. Simply unzip the archive where you want to run your Mobile Web install from

Using Git

Obviously with the code hosted on GitHub you have two options for accessing the code:

Forking the Project

Forking the project is the method I recommend. The beauty of forking the project is that if you want to share changes back to my version of the code you simply have to send a "pull request" and I can merge your changes back. You will need an account on GitHub before forking. Once you have a GitHub account simply visit the project page on GitHub and click the "fork" button.

Cloning the Project

Cloning a project allows you to checkout a copy of the code to your local computer. To clone the project simply do the following:

1. Open a command line tool (like Terminal on Mac OS X)
2. Navigate to the directory where you want install the project.

3. Type: git clone git://github.com/dmolsen/MIT-Mobile-Web.git

Note that by default Git will create a directory called 'MIT-Mobile-Web.' If you want a different folder name for the project just add the name after the clone command above. For example to put the project in a directory called 'mobi' type 'git clone git://github.com/dmolsen/MIT-Mobile-Web.git mobi'.
