1# Creating a Project and Obtaining Source Code
2
3
4When creating an OpenHarmony project, DevEco Device Tool automatically downloads the source code in one of the supported types.
5
6Source code of an OpenHarmony stable version is downloaded from a mirror site. The following versions are available: OpenHarmony-v3.0.3-LTS, OpenHarmony-v3.1-Release, OpenHarmony-v3.2-Beta3, OpenHarmony-v3.2-Beta4, OpenHarmony-v3.2-Beta5, and OpenHarmony-v3.2-Release.
7
8The source code from a mirror site is generally what's available when the stable version is released. Therefore, it may be out of date. To acquire the latest source code of a version, follow the instructions in [Acquiring Source Code from the Gitee Code Repository](../get-code/sourcecode-acquire.md). After acquiring the source code, import it to DevEco Device Tool by following the instructions in [Importing OpenHarmony Source Code](https://device.harmonyos.com/en/docs/documentation/guide/open_project-0000001071680043).

10The following describes how to download source code of the **OpenHarmony Stable Version** type. For details about how to download source code of other types, see [HUAWEI DevEco Device Tool User Guide](https://device.harmonyos.com/en/docs/documentation/guide/service_introduction-0000001050166905).
