3.2.1 Getting CakePHP

There are two main ways to get a fresh copy of CakePHP. You can either download an archive copy (zip/tar.gz/tar.bz2) from the main website, or check out the code from the SVN repository.

To download the latest major release of CakePHP. Visit the main website http://www.cakephp.org and follow the "Download Now" link.

All current releases of CakePHP are hosted at CakeForge, the home of CakePHP. This site also contains links to many other CakePHP projects, including plugins and applications for CakePHP. The CakePHP releases are available at http://cakeforge.org/projects/cakephp.

Alternatively nightly builds are produced which include bug-fixes and up to the minute(well, to the day) enhancements. These can be accessed from the download index here: http://cakephp.org/downloads/index/nightly. For true up to the minute updates, you can check out directly from the development branch of the svn repository here: https://svn.cakephp.org/repo/branches/1.2.x.x.
