# `forgeops` and `forgeops-extras` repositories

Before you can deploy the CDM, you must first get the `forgeops` and `forgeops-extras` repositories:

1. Clone the repositories. For example:

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

   Both repositories are public; you do not need credentials to clone them.

2. Check out the `forgeops` repository's `release/7.4-20240805` branch:

   ```
   $ cd /path/to/forgeops
   $ git checkout release/7.4-20240805
   ```

   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/7.4-20240805` branch. For more information, refer to [Repository Updates](../../../forgeops.html#forgeops-updates).

3. Check out the `forgeops-extras` repository's `main` branch:

   ```
   $ cd /path/to/forgeops-extras
   $ git checkout main
   ```
