## About OpenHarmony<a name="section6370143622110"></a>

OpenHarmony is an open-source version of HarmonyOS. It is donated by Huawei to OpenAtom Foundation. The first open-source version can run on 128 KB to 128 MB devices. You are welcomed to join the open-source community for continuous improvement.

Access code repositories at  [https://openharmony.gitee.com](https://openharmony.gitee.com).

## Overview of Source Code Acquisition<a name="section12763342204"></a>

This document describes how to acquire OpenHarmony source code and provides its directory structure. The OpenHarmony code is open to you as  [bundles](../bundles/overview-0.md), which can be obtained in any of the following ways:

-   **Method 1 \(recommended\)**: Download compressed files from an image site.
-   **Method 2**: Visit the HarmonyOS Package Manager \([HPM](https://hpm.harmonyos.com/#/en/home)\) platform, search for your desired solution, select or exclude bundles from the solution, and download it.
-   **Method 3**: Use an hpm-cli tool available on the  [HPM](https://hpm.harmonyos.com/#/en/home)  platform, and run related HPM commands to download your desired code.
-   **Method 4**: Use the  **repo**  or  **git**  tool to download your desired code from the code repository.

## Method 1: Acquiring Source Code from Image Sites<a name="section61172538310"></a>

You can download the source code or the corresponding solutions from the image library at the sites listed below.

## Method 2: Acquiring Source Code from the Bundle-specific HPM<a name="section463013147412"></a>

## When to Use<a name="section123926431441"></a>

If OpenHarmony is new to you, sample solutions are helpful to your development. The  [HPM](https://hpm.harmonyos.com/#/en/home)  platform provides a recommended solution. You can add or exclude bundles to quickly customize your system.

## How to Use<a name="section1781916234118"></a>

1.  Search for a proper solution.
    1.  Access the  [HPM](https://hpm.harmonyos.com/#/en/home)  page, and click the  **Solution**  tab, as shown in the following figure.
    2.  Enter a keyword \("camera" as an example\) in the search box. All matched solutions are found.
    3.  Specify filter criteria, such as the bundle type \(example:  **Board support**  and  **Kernel support**\), to further filter the solutions.
    4.  Click the solution you need to view its details.

        **Figure  1**  HPM page<a name="fig838103114320"></a>  
        

        ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001054919529.png)


2.  Customize the solution.

    1.  Read the information under  **Readme**  to learn about the solution \(application scenarios, features, usage, and customization\), as shown in the following figure.
    2.  Click  **Download**  to download the solution to your local PC.
    3.  Click  **Log in to custom**  to customize the bundles for the solution.

    **Figure  2**  Solution example<a name="fig1329851510414"></a>  
    

    ![](figures/en-us_image_0000001054719501.png)

3.  Customize bundles.
    1.  Access the  **Custom solution**  page, as shown in the following figure.
    2.  Set the toggle switch next to a specific optional bundle to exclude it from the solution, or click  **Add bundle**  to add new bundles.
    3.  Enter the basic information about your project, including the bundle name, version, and description, on the right pane.
    4.  Click  **Download**. The system then generates the OpenHarmony code structure file \(for example,  **name.zip**\) and saves it to your local PC.
        -   The downloaded compressed package does not contain the original file of source code. You can import the package to the IDE, decompress it, and run the  **hpm install**  command to download all required bundles.
        -   The downloaded bundles are stored in the  **ohos\_bundles**  folder in the project directory.

## Method 3: Acquiring Source Code with a hpm-cli Tool<a name="section9459261856"></a>

## When to Use<a name="section1854923620139"></a>

-   You have obtained bundle-specific source code from the HPM website, and want to independently upgrade one or more bundles in the source code.
-   You are familiar with OpenHarmony development and  **hpm-cli**  tools.

## Preparations<a name="section4451113551114"></a>

You need to install the  **Node.js**  and hpm-cli tool as follows:

1.  Install  **Node.js**.

    Download  **Node.js**  from its official website and install it on your local PC.

    You are advised to install  [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)  12.x \(including npm 6.14.4\) or a later version \(12.13.0 or later is recommended\).

2.  Install the hpm-cli tool using  **npm**  delivered with  **Node.js**.

    Open the CMD window and run the following command:

    ```
    npm install -g @ohos/hpm-cli
    ```

3.  Run the following command to check whether the installation is successful. If the HPM version is displayed, the installation is successful.

    ```
    hpm -V or hpm --version
    ```

4.  Run the following command to upgrade the HPM version:

    ```
    npm update -g @ohos/hpm-cli
    ```


## Operations<a name="section1445143510117"></a>

Add the bundle \(**@ohos/demo**  as an example\) to your project as follows:

1.  Go to the development directory and run the following command to create a development project using the default template:

    ```
    hpm init -t default
    ```

2.  Run the following command to install the bundle \(**@ohos/demo**  as an example\):

    ```
    hpm install @ohos/demo
    ```

3.  Verify that the  **hpm-cli**  tool automatically downloads all dependent bundles from the server. If the download is successful, the message "Install successfully!" is displayed.

    ```
    $ hpm install @ohos/demo
    Requesting: https://url.foo.bar/hpm/registry/api/bundles/@ohos/demo
    downloading @ohos/demo
    Requesting: https://lfcontentcenterdev....../bMAlLrYISLqdUTFFFCdgzA.tgz
    extract D:\demo\ohos_bundles\@ohos\demo\@ohos-demo-1.0.7.tgz
    Install successfully!
    ```


## Method 4: Acquiring Source Code from a Code Repository<a name="section537312010229"></a>

## When to Use<a name="section1492115412228"></a>

-   You want to establish a baseline based on stable OpenHarmony releases and distribute the baseline to your customers.

-   You have interconnected your software with OpenHarmony and need official certification from OpenHarmony.

-   You want to contribute code to the OpenHarmony ecosystem after chips, modules, and applications are certified by OpenHarmony.

-   You need to address OpenHarmony issues.

-   You want to learn OpenHarmony source code.


## Preparations<a name="section1076962313239"></a>

1.  Register your account with gitee.
2.  Register an SSH public key.
3.  Install the git client and configure basic information.

    ```
    git config --global user.name "yourname"
    git config --global user.email "your-email-address"
    git config --global credential.helper store
    ```

4.  Run the following commands to install the  **repo**  tool:

    ```
    curl https://gitee.com/oschina/repo/raw/fork_flow/repo-py3 > /usr/local/bin/repo
    chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/repo
    pip install -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple requests
    ```


## Operations<a name="section17162735266"></a>

Method 1 \(recommended\): Use the  **repo**  tool to download source code.

```
repo init -u https://gitee.com/openharmony/manifest.git -b master
repo sync -c
```

Method 2: Run the  **git clone**  command to clone a single code repository.

Go to https://gitee.com/openharmony, select the code repository to be cloned, and run the following command:

```
git clone https://gitee.com/openharmony/manifest.git -b master
```

## Source Code Directories<a name="section1072115612811"></a>

The following table describes the OpenHarmony source code directories.
