The development version of the Orekit library is always available to download from our version control system. We use Git as our SCM. The anonymous read access to our Git repository allows users who need the latest features and the latest bug fixes to get them even before an official release.
The Git repository can be cloned using the following command, which can be easily adapted if you are using one of the numerous Git graphical user interface available or if Git is supported by you integrated development environment:
git clone https://www.orekit.org/git/orekit-main.git
Orekit is provided both in several packaging systems. You can pick up the one that better suits your needs. Source packages are the most complete ones since the other packages (binary jars, javadoc jars and even the bulk of this site) are created from these sources.
Orekit is also available in maven central repository, with groupID org.orekit and artifactId orekit so maven internal mechanism will download automatically all artifacts and dependencies as required.
