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
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. There are some unofficial repositories, too. See the version control repository page for more details.
Compiling
Per platform instructions are available for the following platforms:
- Microsoft Windows - Visual Studio .NET 2003 (recommended, Linden Lab uses VS2003)
- Microsoft Windows - Visual Studio 2005 & Visual C++ 2005 Express
- Microsoft Windows - Cross compiling on Linux
- Mac OS X
- Linux
- FreeBSD
See Common compilation problems if you run into errors while building.
