I must be the only one here stupid enough to ask: how do you download a library or anything from github? There is no download button and all I can do is viewing files. Am I not geeky enough to see the button or not have a PI or OMEGA button on my keyboard to press for special powers?

Go up a couple of levels in the directory. Then:

Thanks for the instruction. I swear I saw one of those zip buttons on a different github. So I ended up saving everything from that site, most of which I don't really need. That's great. Maybe they should create several githubs each only having one library?

I think they recently changed how downloads work, due to people using the site for hosting copyrighted files or something.

So when I remember I did download a file with zip option a while back, I was actually right!

You can as well make a account on GitHub, fork the repository and then download it on you computer using the terminal. This is how I'm doing it.
The advantage is that your library and codes and co are on github as a fork so they don't change and you can update your repository when it is finally working. And you can thus share it with the rest of the world =P !!

Anyways, I forget the command line each time and I have to search for it on google every time I want to download something from github. =P
