For any supported release of Yocto Project, you can go to the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project Website</ulink> and
select the "Downloads" tab and get a tarball of the release.
You can also go to this site to download any supported BSP tarballs.
Unpacking the tarball gives you a hierarchical Source Directory that lets you develop
using the Yocto Project.

Once you are set up through either tarball extraction or a checkout of Git repositories,
you are ready to develop.
select the "Downloads" tab and get a released tarball of the
<filename>poky</filename> repository or any supported BSP tarballs.
Unpacking these tarballs gives you a snapshot of the released
files.
<note>
The recommended method for setting up the Yocto Project
<link linkend='source-directory'>Source Directory</link> and the
files for supported BSPs (eg., <filename>meta-intel</filename>) is to
use <link linkend='git'>Git</link> to create a local copy of the
upstream repositories.

Git supports distributed development, non-linear development, and can handle large projects.
It is best that you have some fundamental understanding of how Git tracks projects and
how to work with Git if you are going to use the Yocto Project for development.
