Source Code
For the source and instructions on how to install RetroPie from source please see our RetroPie-Setup Project on GitHub. This is where we manage the main code which ties all the parts of RetroPie together. We also manage additional software on GitHub, which can be found under the RetroPie Organisation. Other parts of RetroPie are pulled in from external repositories as needed by the RetroPie-Setup script.
