Get the latest release from our sourceforge download page.
You can then run MATSim with the provided jar-file (see here):
java -Xmx512m -cp MATSim.jar org.matsim.run.Controler config.xml
Within that setup, the first way to make progress is to modify existing xml-config files. See here.

Our source code is hosted in a Subversion repository on Sourceforge.net. To check out the code, use the instruction:
svn co https://matsim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matsim/matsim/trunk matsim
This will check out the trunk (main development line) of the MATSim Java Packages.
(Do not use https://svn.sourceforge .... That sometimes works as well, but sometimes leads to a "svn: Repository moved temporarily to ...; please relocate" error.)
If you plan to use Eclipse for your development efforts, see Using Eclipse for MATSim Development.

We provide nightly snapshots of the current code for download. This is a simple possibility to use the latest MATSim code without accessing the code repository directly. Please note that code in these nightly releases must not be considered stable and may change anytime.
Get more information about using nightly builds.

Planning to buy new computers to run MATSim on? Or figuring out in which configuration MATSim runs fastest on your current machine? Then give the MATSim benchmark tool a try or look at the findings from the benchmark results.
