< p > First you need to set up < a href = "../computing/keyexchange.html" > keys< / a > so that you can use ssh.
Until you can do that there is no point in doing anything else. This is < i > particularly difficult< / i >
on Windows which requires < a href = "https://rperki.blogspot.com/2015/06/install-puttypageant-on-win-10.html" > extra software to be installed and configured< / a > .
Allow an afternoon at least to get this bit to work as it is poorly documented.
To get the keys set up on the server you will have to wait for an already-authenticated nerd to do it for you so this is not a quick job.

'Browse' next to the 'Destination' box. As far as I recall, you don't
need to edit anything in the box where it says 'Hg command'. Click 'Clone'!< / p >

< p > That will have cloned the /loser/ repository to your laptop.

If you want to update the handbook or other parts of the website you will also need to clone the /expoweb/ repository.
You can scan what's in the repositories (read only) using your web browser:
< ul >
< li > < a href = "http://expo.survex.com/repositories/home/expo/loser/graph/" > loser< / a > - the survex survey data< / li >
< li > < a href = "http://expo.survex.com/repositories/home/expo/expoweb/graph" > expoweb< / a > - the website itself, including generation scripts< / li >
