+<blockquote>Any of the following commands should work:
+<blockquote><pre>
+fossil  clone  http://www.fossil-scm.org/  fossil.fossil<br>
+fossil  clone  http://www2.fossil-scm.org/  fossil.fossil<br>
+fossil  clone  http://www.hwaci.com/cgi-bin/fossil  fossil.fossil
+</pre></blockquote>
+Once you have the repository cloned, you can open a local check-out
+as follows:
+<blockquote><pre>
+mkdir fossil; cd fossil; fossil open ../fossil.fossil
+</pre></blockquote>
+Thereafter you should be able to keep your local check-out up to date
+with the latest code in the public repository simply by typing:
+<blockquote><pre>
+fossil update
+</pre></blockquote></blockquote></li>
