Download Stable Data Sets
These are stable data sets that are developed in between stable releases of PCGen but can be installed and used with a stable version of PCGen.
Option 2. Download Alpha Releases

Option 3. Nightly Builds
Autobuilds are compilations of the PCGen program and data taken direct from our source at regular intervals. They are not manually tested at all prior to upload, but are instead an excellent tool to allow people to test what we are currently working on.
See the Autobuilds page for these downloads.
Option 4. Subversion Access
We use the Subversion service hosted by SourceForge for all our code and data. If you want direct access to the source, see the Subversion usage page
