Download the source code

The HEMCO source code may be downloaded (aka “cloned”) with Git. By default the git clone command will give you the main branch by default: default.

$ git clone https://github.com/geoschem/hemco.git HEMCO
$ cd HEMCO

If you would like a different version of HEMCO you can check out a different branch. For example, to check out the dev branch, type:

$ git checkout dev

You can also check out the HEMCO source code at the position of any tag. For example, to use the HEMCO version 3.0.0 code (which is by now an old version), type:

$ git checkout tags/3.0.0

If you have any unsaved changes, make sure you commit those to a branch prior to updating versions.
