You can obtain the SYMPHONY source code either via the subversion repository, or via the mirror on github using git, or in the form of archived releases. The recommended method in Unix is to use subversion because it makes it easier to obtain updates. In a Unix-like environment (such as Linux or CYGWIN), the following command may be used to obtain SYMPHONY from source using SVN in most cases:
svn checkout https://projects.coin-or.org/svn/SYMPHONY/stable/5.6 SYMPHONY-5.6To obtain via git from github, you can do
git clone --branch=stable/5.6 https://github.com/coin-or/SYMPHONY/ SYMPHONY-5.6Alternatively, you can get point releases of the source code as a compressed file by visiting The latest version of the source code is 5.6.14, so you should download the file SYMPHONY-5.6.14.tgz and unpack the distribution with
tar -xzf SYMPHONY-\VER.tgzThis will create a subdirectory called SYMPHONY-5.6.14 containing the distribution.
