Download
--------

* Official |git repository| (read-only access). Fork it on github if
  you like.
  ::

    git clone https://github.com/fricas/fricas.git

* Release tarballs (up to version  1.3.6):
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/fricas/files/fricas/.

  The release tarballs are identical to the respective version in the
  |git repository|, but additionally contain pregenerated (machine
  independent) files, i.e., compilation from release tarballs takes
  less time.

* `FriCAS Docker Image <https://hub.docker.com/r/nilqed/fricas/>`_

  A few downsides:

  #. You have to login GitHub to download this "CI artifact".
     (Not necessarily a bad thing, I don't want to pollute the
     "Release" page in GitHub.)
  #. It only exists for a short period. (90 days?)
  #. The packaging is very crude for now, not out-of-box user experience.
     (You have to "cd" in the shell and set "FRICAS" env variable.)
  #. It's double compressed, you have to unpack twice.
