CVS Repository

Important: make sure that you check out the files with UNIX line ending, i.e., LF and not CRLF (Windows) or CR (Mac). Otherwise you might experience problems with props files for instance.

Source code

If you want to check out the current state of Weka as it is currently being worked on, you can do so via anonymous CVS. The following commands are for the CVS command line client.

Set the CVSROOT environment variable to:

:pserver:cvs_anon@cvs.scms.waikato.ac.nz:/usr/local/global-cvs/ml_cvs

Then you can checkout the latest (developer) snapshot of Weka using:

cvs login
cvs co weka
cvs logout

When you are asked for a password, just hit ENTER.

In case you want the source code for the book (http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/book.html) version, use this sequence instead:

cvs login
cvs co -r book2ndEd-branch weka
cvs logout

Note: For compiling the source code, have a look here.

junit

The junit (http://www.junit.org/) unit tests can be checked out via the following module (use this instead of weka in above listed cvs commands):

Specific version

If you want to retrieve a specific version of Weka and not the latest source code, you have to specify a tag with the checkout command (-r tag). Dots are replaced with dashes and for the developer version use the dev- prefix and for the book version stable-. A few examples:

Weka 3.4.8

cvs co -r stable-3-4-8 weka

Weka 3.5.3

cvs co -r dev-3-5-3 weka

Clients

[edit]

Command line

The command line utilities can be downloaded here (http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/binary/stable/). Normally, they're shipped with all the Linux distributions (also available through Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/)). Under Windows you will have to download a client (command line or GUI).
