Downloading and Extracting ODS / API Source Code

Follow the steps below to either Git Clone or download and extract each of the repository archives from the relevant release tag or development branch.

Git Clone Method

  1. Use a Git client (such as GitHub Desktop) or a Git command line tool to Git Clone each of the repository links described above (for latest release or daily source). It is important to ensure that all three repositories are extracted to the same root directory (for example C:\).
  2. When all repositories have been cloned, there should be three folders for the ODS / API source code as shown below:

  2. In Windows Explorer, right-click each of the downloaded ZIP files and select Properties. On the General tab, press Unblock to allow the contents of the contained scripts to execute properly.


  3. In Windows Explorer, right-click on each of the downloaded ZIP files and select Extract All… Enter C:\ for the target folder.1 The ZIP files contain an embedded folder ending in “-2.2” (or "-development" or "-master" if downloading latest daily source). For example, the “Ed-Fi ODS ZIP” archive contents will be extracted into C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-2.2.
  4. After the extractions are complete, rename the folders to remove the "-2.2" (or “-master" or "-development") from the folder names. For example, change C:\Ed-Fi-ODS-2.2 to C:\Ed-Fi-ODS. 
  5. When the extraction and renaming is complete, there should be three folders for the ODS / API source code as shown below:
