Get the latest source development kit, which contains everything you need to create applications. A list of other downloads is also available.

The SDK contains the entire framework including all source files and the powerful toolchain. In order to develop, document, test and deploy your apps, certain requirements have to be met. After downloading and unzipping the archive, please see the top-level readme file for further information.

qooxdoo is maintained in a public repository at Github. Check out, fork or watch the latest framework code, and feel free to contribute. Please note, that a development snapshot usually is not stable and not recommenced for production use.

Note: Previously the framework code was maintained in a public SVN repository. The contributions continue to be available in a SVN repository called "qooxdoo-contrib".

If you want to access the Github repository via a read-only SVN check-out, you can do so with the following command:

svn co https://github.com/qooxdoo/qooxdoo/trunk

Starting to develop a qooxdoo application does not require a server. During development and for later deployment of an actual app you would certainly use some kind of HTTP-aware backend. Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) allow for a very elegant client-server communication. The community provides several qooxdoo RPC servers for Java, PHP, Perl and Python that you might want to integrate with your existing backend.
