Download the program or the source code?

Just download and run Ardour on your Linux, macOS or Windows computer.

You'll need to build this yourself. That can be a challenging and complex process, especially on Windows and macOS. We don't provide help for this process, and we can't support the end result. But if you're hoping to modify Ardour or get involved in our development process, this is where to start.

Choose how you want to get the source code

If these options don't make sense to you, you should probably be selecting "Ready-to-Run Program" above

Download a tar archive

Download the source code of Ardour 6.0

Access a Git Repository

We maintain a git repository on Github that is available for full public access and participation. You can find it at http://github.com/Ardour/ardour.

To clone from github: git clone git://github.com/Ardour/ardour.git

The primary shared git repository for Ardour is also accessible on http://git.ardour.org/, but write access is limited to approved developers only. You can clone from there also (though this is 100% equivalent from to using Github).

To clone from git.ardour.org: git clone git://git.ardour.org/ardour/ardour.git

The code typically changes many times a day. The current version may crash or suffer regressions. We do releases when it is ready.
