|   | This page describes the legacy CDM implementation, which will be deprecated in an upcoming release. We strongly recommend that you transition to [the current CDM implementation](../../../../cdm/overview.html) as soon as possible. |

Before you can deploy the CDK or the CDM, you must first get the `forgeops` repository and check out the `release/7.2-20240117` branch:

1. Clone the `forgeops` repository. For exmple:

   ```
   $ git clone https://github.com/ForgeRock/forgeops.git
   ```

   The `forgeops` repository is a public Git repository. You do not need credentials to clone it.

2. Check out the `release/7.2-20240117` branch:

   ```
   $ cd forgeops
   $ git checkout release/7.2-20240117
   ```

Depending on your organization's repository strategy, you might need to clone the repository from a fork, instead of cloning ForgeRock's master repository. You might also need to create a working branch from the `release/7.2-20240117` branch. For more information, see [Repository Updates](../../../../forgeops.html#forgeops-updates).
