| How to download Skia |
| ==================== |
| |
| Install depot_tools and Git |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| Follow the instructions on [Installing Chromium's |
| depot_tools](http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools) |
| to download depot_tools (which includes gclient, git-cl, and Ninja). |
| |
| <!--?prettify lang=sh?--> |
| |
| git clone 'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git' |
| export PATH="${PWD}/depot_tools:${PATH}" |
| |
| depot_tools will also install Git on your system, if it wasn't installed |
| already. |
| |

| |
| mkdir $SRC |
| cd $SRC |
| gclient config --unmanaged https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git |
| gclient sync |
| cd skia |
| |
| Getting started with Skia |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| You probably now want to [build](./build) Skia. |
| |
| Changing and contributing to Skia |
| --------------------------------- |

| you want to make changes, and possibly contribute them back to the Skia |
| project, read [How To Submit a Patch](../dev/contrib/submit). |
