Use git to clone the DREAM.3D repository to your Workspace directory:

git clone -b develop https://www.github.com/bluequartzsoftware/DREAM3D

Clone 3 other repositories to your Workspace directory that are required to build DREAM.3D:

git clone -b develop https://www.github.com/bluequartzsoftware/CMP git clone -b develop https://www.github.com/bluequartzsoftware/SIMPL git clone -b develop https://www.github.com/bluequartzsoftware/SIMPLView

All 4 of these repositories should be cloned/downloaded into the Workspace folder so that the final paths to all 4 repositories look like the following:

/Users/[YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY]/Workspace/DREAM3D

/Users/[YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY]/Workspace/CMP

/Users/[YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY]/Workspace/SIMPL

/Users/[YOUR-HOME-DIRECTORY]/Workspace/SIMPLView
