# Downloading
Follow these steps to download, compile, and host angular.js on your own server:

## Step 0

If you don't already have Rake (Ruby Make) installed, download and install it from
http://rake.rubyforge.org/.

## Step 1

Download the angular source code from GitHub: http://github.com/angular/angular.js.

## Step 2

The source code should include a Rakefile. Compile the source by typing rake compile.

## Step 3

Host the files on your server. Look through your source tree and make sure that the css and js
directories are parallel (i.e. share a common root node).

In the js directory you should see these different versions of the angular bootstrap code:

* **angular-?.?.?.js** - this file is unobfuscated, uncompressed, and human-readable. Note that
  despite the name of the file, there is no additional functionality built in to help you debug
  your application; it has the prefix debug because you can read the source code.
* **angular-?.?.?.min.js** - this is a compressed and obfuscated version of `angular-?.?.?.js`.
  You might want to use this version if you want to load a smaller but functionally equivalent
  version of the code in your application. Note: this minified version was created using the
  Closure Compiler.
