=== Downloading From GitHub Without Git ===
Periodically download the latest copy from github from the "Downloads" link on the webpage: https://github.com/statgen/{{{repoName}}}/downloads.
From github you can download:
# Latest Code (master branch)
{{#if: {{{latestReleaseBranch|}}} | #Latest Release (via a branch) }}
# Specific Release (via a tag)
==== Downloading a Released Version ====

You can either download via:
* Website
*:Click on <code>zip</code> or <code>tar.gz</code> to download that version.

==== Downloading the Latest Version ====

The downloaded tar file is named "statgen-{{{repoName}}}-someHexNumber.tar.gz". The directory created when it is untared shares the same base name. I recommend that you do not change the name of the directory. If you want one called {{{repoName}}}, create a link to this directory. The hex number in the directory name identifies the version of the repository that you downloaded and is necessary to easily troubleshoot any issues you encounter. If you must rename the directory, be sure to record the hex number that was on the download for future reference.
