Browse the releases page for version you are looking forward, and click on the appropriate link to download the archived software. The software is stored on the server as an archived .zip or .tar file. Note that most users (Windows and Mac users especially) will want to download the .zip format archive file. Once you have downloaded the archive file, uncompress the file using the appropriate tool on your computer.

Note that you want to download the "FIRST-Tech-Challenge-Live" archive file, and not the "Source code" file. The "Source code" file does not contain any usable content.

Reporting Issues
Click on the "Issues" link towards the upper left hand corner of the main page of this repository to navigate to the Issue Tracking Database page. If you are logged in to your GitHub user account (which is available for free from GitHub) you can create and reply to issues in the database.
Click on the "Issues" link to go to the Issues page.
The developers of the software requested that if you encounter a bug, you copy and archive (compress into .zip form) the "db" subdirectory and then create an issue on the Issues database and attach the .zip file to the newly created issue and save the attachment with the issue. The "db" folder is located in the "lib" subfolder.
Click on the "selecting them" link to go to browse and attach a local file to your issue.
