The latest release of IronRuby is available in the Subversion repository’s at RubyForge. This short post will walk you through getting the latest if you are not familiar with Subversion.

First download and install Subversion, or a compatible client like TortoiseSVN. If you choose to install the command line tools, shell out to a DOS prompt and type “svn help” to make sure your path is setup correctly. If not, reboot. If you choose Tortoise it will require a reboot.

Once you have one of those installed, now you will need to get the latest version of the code. If you are using the command line, typing :

svn co http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/ IronRuby

will get the latest version of the code into the folder IronRuby. If you are using Tortoise, create a folder named IronRuby, right click on it, and choose SVN Check out. then provide http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/ as a path.

That’s all it took to get the latest IronRuby. If you want to update your copy in the future with the command line, simply navigate to the IronRuby folder and type svn up. With tortoise you can right click on the folder and choose SVN Update.

Next post will be building the new release!
