Downloading LAC

To obtain an executable ready to be run see releases page. LAC source code could be downloaded using two different ways: using git as command line or directly from the webpage. Both options are described below.

Using git

Git has to be installed in your system (see Manual Section 2.1 for instructions on how to install git in your computer). Once git is installed, to check if it was correctly installed the following command may be executed. In windows it should be run on the Command prompt of windows (cmd). In GNU-Linux or MAC OS X it could be run on whatever terminal emulator is being used.

 $ git --version

Finally, LAC could be easily downloaded running:

 $ git clone --branch v0.2.0 https://github.com/kdis-lab/lac.git

It will create a directory on the current path with the name of lac. This directory contains the source code and the user manual for the version previously specified. Thus, the current path has to be changed to the new created directory using the command cd.

 $ cd lac

Using Github web

Github provides a direct link to download LAC without requiring to use git. It is much more easy to download, but it does not enable to fetch latest updates easily but this whole process has to be repeated for each new released version. LAC could be downloaded visiting the Github repository publicly available at https://github.com/kdis-lab/lac, and clicking on the green button with the text Clone or download. Then, a small pop-up opens, showing a Download ZIP button (See previous Figure). After clicking on that button, a compressed file is downloaded with all the content of the repository. ZIP file only has to be extracted to obtain all the content of the repository.
