<h2 id="GettingStarted">Getting started</h2>

<p>This section details quick-start instructions for getting NetSurf compiled under RISC OS. If you want more detail, see the rest of this document.</p>

<ol>
<li>Download and install the <a href="#Requirements">requirements</a> listed above.</li>
<li>Force the RISC OS SVN client to handle ,xxx extensions correctly by issuing:
<pre>*Set svn$filetypeext &quot;&quot;</pre>
This may be set permanently by uncommenting the appropriate line in !SVN's !Boot file.</li>
<li>Check out the latest source code from SVN, by issuing the following command in a TaskWindow:
<pre>*svn co svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/netsurf</pre></li>
<li>Open the &quot;netsurf&quot; directory that gets created, this now contains all the source code.</li>
<li>Read the &quot;BUILDING-RISC_OS&quot; document in the &quot;Docs&quot; directory. This explains how to actually get NetSurf to build.</li>
