## Install `depot_tools` and Git
Follow the instructions on [Installing Chromium's
depot_tools](http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools)
to download `depot_tools` (which includes gclient, git-cl, and Ninja).
Below is a summary of the necessary steps.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
git clone 'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git'
export PATH="${PWD}/depot_tools:${PATH}"
`depot_tools` will also install Git on your system, if it wasn't installed
already.
## Clone the Skia repository
Skia can either be cloned using `git` or the `fetch` tool that is
installed with `depot_tools`.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
git clone https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git
# or
# fetch skia
cd skia
python2 tools/git-sync-deps
## Getting started with Skia
You will probably now want to [build](../build) Skia.
## Changing and contributing to Skia
At this point, you have everything you need to build and use Skia! If
you want to make changes, and possibly contribute them back to the Skia
project, read [How To Submit a Patch](/docs/dev/contrib/submit/).
