Overview

This article lists language-specific SDKs (software development kits) for Cloud Files. Some of these instructions use the git version control system. The documentation for each SDK assumes that you have git installed and configured on your local machine. For more information on git please check out gits's website for *nix or msysgit for Windows. The most current versions of all SDKs can be found in the SDK Guide: docs.rackspace.com/sdks/guide/content/intro.html.

In addition to the links to the SDKs, reference materials and tips on use are on each language's page.

Downloading the SDK

To download, follow the instructions on each SDK's page.  You'll want to run a "git clone" command with the URL of the repository you want to grab as an argument.  The clone operation will download the files to your current directory, so it's usually a good idea to make an empty directory to hold the files first.
