This page is for developers who want to work on the internals of Open MPI itself.
If you are a general user or system administrator looking to simply download and install Open MPI, please click here.

Open MPI's Git repositories are hosted at GitHub.

First, you will need a Git client. We recommend getting the latest version available. If you do not have the command "git" in your path, you will likely need to download and install Git.
ompi is the main Open MPI repository where most active development is done.

Clone either of these repositories. For example (as of October 2014), to clone the main development repository via HTTPS:

shell$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi.git
Cloning into 'ompi'...
remote: Counting objects: 256644, done.
remote: Total 256644 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (256644/256644), 61.98 MiB | 2.15 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (213377/213377), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
shell$

The web interface available by clicking on the above URL shows a nice summary of recent activity and allows navigating into individual commits.
Once you have successfully cloned the repository, continue on to the instructions on how to build from a developer checkout.

Note that Git is natively capable of using many forms of web proxies. If your network setup requires the user of a web proxy, consult the Git documentation for more details.

NOTE: Prior to October 2014, Open MPI was maintained in a Subversion repository. This Subversion repository had two read-only mirrors: a Mercurial mirror at bitbucket.org and a Git mirror at github.com. These two mirrors are now defunct and will no longer be updated. If you are using either of these mirrors, you should stop using them and switch to the main Open MPI Git repository at GitHub.

Open MPI is an Associated Project
of the Software in the Public Interest non-profit organization
