## Git

75+
The entire ROOT source can be obtained from our public Git repository:
76+
77+
~~~
78+
git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git
79+
~~~
80+
The release specific tag can be obtained using:
81+
~~~
82+
cd root
83+
git checkout -b v6-40-00-rc1 v6-40-00-rc1
84+

See [instructions to build from source](../../install/#build-from-source){:target="\_blank"}.
87+
88+
## Windows
89+
90+
Windows 10/7/... are supported. We offer two packaging types:
91+
92+
* **exe**: a regular Windows installer package also setting up the required environment variables. With uninstall via "Control Panel" / "Add or Remove Programs". Simply download and start. You can double-click ROOT to run it; ROOT files get registered with Windows.
93+
* **tar**: unpack e.g. with [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org). Start ROOT in a Microsoft Visual Studio Prompt (in Start / Programs / Microsoft Visual Studio / Tools). If you installed ROOT to `C:\root` then call `C:\root\bin\thisroot.bat` before using ROOT to set up required environment variables. Call instead `thisroot.ps1` if you run from a `powershell` (the default terminal in Visual Studio Code).
94+
95+
### Important installation notes
96+
97+
* You must download the binary built with the exact same version of Visual Studio (and Python) than the one installed on your system.
98+
* Don't forget to select the component “Desktop development with C++" when running the Visual Studio Installer.
99+
* Do not untar in a directory with a name containing blank characters.
100+
* Take the release version if performance matters.
101+
* If you want to debug your code you need the ROOT debug build (you cannot mix release / debug builds due to a Microsoft restriction).
