## GETTING RIOT
The most convenient way to get RIOT is to clone it via Git
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT
```
this will ensure that you get all the newest features and bug fixes with the
caveat of an ever changing work environment.
If you prefer things more stable, you can download the source code of one of our
quarter annual releases [via Github][releases] as ZIP file or tarball. You can
also checkout a release in a cloned Git repository using
```console
$ git pull --tags
$ git checkout <YYYY.MM>
```
For more details on our release cycle, check our [documentation][release cycle].
