Download Geode source from one of two places: find a specific Apache Geode (incubating) release at httpshttp://githubgeode.com/apache/incubator-geodeapache.org/releases or use the head of the develop branch at https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode. Build instructions for each Apache Geode (incubating) release are in the README.md or BUILDING.md file within the release. Both sets of the source code use the standard Gradle lifecycle model.
