Sakai 2.9 downloads

There are two ways to acquire Sakai source code. You can choose to download a packaged *.zip or *tar.gz file from Sakai's release page or check out the code directly from our code repository using Subversion's (SVN) source control management system.

Demo archive
The Sakai Demo is a pre-built version of Sakai with Apache Tomcat and a simple configuration, perfect for a quick and easy demo of Sakai. The demo is NOT intended for large scale implementations. It is suitable only for evaluating the software and running small pilot implementations on a single server.

Binary archive
The Sakai Binary is a pre-built version of Sakai without Apache Tomcat, jar dependencies, or extra configuration files. Download the Binary release if you want to just drop the Sakai bundle into a pre-existing Tomcat environment.

Source archive
The Sakai Source includes Sakai portal, tool and service source code. Start from Source if you plan to make any code-level changes to your Sakai system.

Source checkout
Sakai source code can also be checked out anonymously from our SVN repository. The latest development work is located in /trunk; stable releases can be found in /tags, while maintenance, experimental and other work are located in /branches.

For example, to checkout a stable Sakai 2.9.1 release tag issue the following Subversion terminal command:

svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/sakai-2.9.1/ sakai-2.9.1

Maintenance branch
The latest bug fixes for a particular release can be found in our maintenance branches. Please note that certain maintenance branch fixes require database schema changes. You can check out the maintenance branch by issuing the following Subversion terminal command:

svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai-2.9.x/ sakai-2.9.x
