If you are a paid Patreon member, first [link your GitHub Account to Patreon](https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/sponsoring-open-source-contributors/sponsoring-an-open-source-contributor-through-patreon) to get access to the source code and live updates. Once you've linked your GitHub account, you should receive a GitHub Organisation Invite email. Usually it's instant, but it may take a few hours for it to arrive. You must install [Git LFS (Large File Storage)](https://git-lfs.com/) **before cloning** the repository. This is required to download the larger files from the repository (models, textures, DLLs, etc). > If you prefer not to install Git LFS, you can download a zip of the repository from GitHub Lastly, visit the [ve repository](http://github.com/vercidium-patreon/ve) and clone it to your computer. ### Troubleshooting If a few hours pass and you haven't received the GitHub invite email, try disconnecting and reconnecting your GitHub account from Patreon. If you're still facing issues, send me a direct message and I'll raise it with GitHub support. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a direct message on Patreon or Discord, or send me an email.
