Even if you don't plan to develop, just the act of downloading and compiling can uncover problems. If the version you download doesn't build on your platform, file a bug.
Getting the source
Linden Labs distributes the viewer source code on the source downloads page. Linden Labs currently does not yet provide public access to a version control repository. However, there are other websites that do host repositories.
Zipfile/Tarball Downloads
Linden Lab does provide current and past downloads in an archived format, see the source downloads page.
Version Control
Linden Lab also maintains a version control repository. See the version control repository page for more details.

Per platform instructions are available for the following platforms:
- Microsoft Windows - Visual Studio 2005 & Visual C++ 2005 Express
- Microsoft Windows - Visual Studio .NET 2003
- Microsoft Windows - Cross compiling on Linux
- Mac OS X
- Linux
- FreeBSD
See Common compilation problems if you run into errors while building.
