+If you can, use ''git clone'' to clone the master distribution to your website as this will enable easy future updates via a ''git pull'' command.  Otherwise, you'll need to watch the master distribution for changes.  You can use [https://git-scm.com/download/win Git for Windows] or install git (if needed) on linux systems using
+<code>sudo apt-get install git</code>.  Once you have git installed, you can (using shell in linux or gitbash in windows) cd to the directory in which to install the template, then <br><br>
+<code><nowiki>
+git clone https://github.com/ktrue/CU-HWS ./
+</nowiki></code>
+<br><br>
+to clone the master distribution.  For updates, just (using shell in linux or gitbash in windows) cd to the same directory and do<br><br>
+<code>
+git pull
+</code>
+<br><br>
+and you'll receive all the updated files.  It won't clobber an existing ''settings1.php'' setup so can be done as often as you like.
 If you want to do a 'mass update' of your CU-HWS website, just save off your ''settings1.php'', download the distribution, unpack it, upload to your website and copy your saved ''settings1.php'' back .. then your site will be fully refreshed.
