Download


Lime is open source, under the GNU Lesser General Public License, and no registration or whatsoever is needed in order to use it. 
However, we are interested in knowing who is using it around the world, and for which kinds of projects or purposes. We would greatly appreciate if you can take a minute to fill out the "new users survey" on SourceForge before downloading.

There are essentially two ways to get a working version of Lime on your system:

  1. The simpler is to go to the project summary page and download the desired package.
    There are two sets of files which can be downloaded: The motivation for providing two different packages is to limit the size of your download each time we release a new jar file containing just some bug fix. Rather than downloading all of the documentation and examples each time, you will only need to update the jar files. 
    Make sure to read the release notes (the notebook icon on the right of the release).
  2. Alternatively, you can get a snapshot of the CVS repository and download the current version of the source code tree. This is the most dangerous way to get Lime because the source tree in the repository is not necessarily stable. If you do this, you will still need to get the jar files for LighTS and µCode, and compile Lime yourself.
