## Post #1 by @J.P_Freriks

Hi all,

I've got a practical question: how can I download archetypes from a
repository into the archetype editor?
I've installed TortoiseCVS and created a local file\. What CVS ROOT do I
need to specify in the Checkout dialog? \(and am I right that this is all
I need to fill in in the dialog box?\)

Couldn't find any info about downloading from a repository or CVS roots
on the website, except a link to a tgz file which is/should be at
http://oceaninformatics.biz/archetype_editor/help/ht_start.htm that
didn't work\. Nothing happened\.

Would it be an idea to publish instructions for downloading a repository
into the Archetype Editor?

Regards,

Josina Freriks

Hi Josina,

you need TortoiseSVN, not TortoiseCVS\!

Hi Josina,

[http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge](http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge)

is what I think you need - it is about 90mb but will give you all the NHS models (archetypes and templates) as well as the official OpenEHR archetypes

Thanks for your contribution last week. It was a very enjoyable experience and a very lovely place to live for a few days - I wish UK hospitals were as clean and efficient.

If you need further help, just let me know.

Ian

Hi Josina (so we have a philosopher involved)

The latest release of the Ocean Editor (End Nov 2007) will allow download from the SVN repository directly over the web.
