Running Riak requires Erlang R13B04 or later. We have platform specific instructions written up for downloading Erlang located [[here|Installing Erlang]]. If you don't already have Version R13B04 installed, go do so and hurry back.

### Download Git
### Download the source code of the latest Riak version

Git is the source control system that Basho uses for Riak development. If you don't already have it installed, you can get it here: [[http://git-scm.com/download|http://git-scm.com/download]]

### Clone a copy of the latest Riak from source

Now that you have Erlang and git squared away, it's time to clone the latest Riak. From a terminal, run the following command:

```bash
$ git clone git://github.com/basho/riak.git
```

You should now have the latest version of Riak.
You can always find the latest release of Riak in our [downloads directory](http://downloads.basho.com/riak/CURRENT/).
The current version is 0.14.2, and you can download the [source code
here](http://downloads.basho.com/riak/riak-0.14/riak-0.14.2.tar.gz). Unpack the package once downloaded, and you're
ready for the next step.

### Build Riak

So now you have a copy of Riak. Time to build it. Do this by accessing the "riak" directory and running "make all"

```bash
$ cd riak
$ cd riak-0.14.2
$ make all
```
