Current Stable Release

The recommended way to obtain the current stable version of Capistrano is via RubyGems. If you already have both Ruby and RubyGems installed, you can easily download and install Capistrano simply by typing the following at the console:

gem install -y capistrano

If you are missing either Ruby or RubyGems, you'll need to install them first. You can get detailed installation instructions on the installation page.

If you want to download the source code of the current stable version, you can grab it from the Capistrano project at RubyForge.

Development

If you want to work on the source code itself (to contribute patches and such), you can get the latest, bleeding edge source via github:

git clone git://github.com/jamis/capistrano.git

You can also download a tarball if git isn't your thing, or browse the source code online, at github:
