Downloads

After moving to GitHub, we no longer provide any pre-packaged downloads. If you want to retrieve the scripts without the use of git, please use the the download as ZIP feature.

The recommended way of obtaining a needed script is directly from the source repository like so:

$ wget https://raw.github.com/oliversalzburg/typo3scripts/master/bootstrap.sh

You can obtain the latest development version of a script the same way:

$ wget https://raw.github.com/oliversalzburg/typo3scripts/dev/bootstrap.sh

Optionally, you can clone the whole project:

$ git clone git://github.com/oliversalzburg/typo3scripts.git /var/www/my-typo3-site/
