# Retrieve a blade from source control

Here’s how to retrieve a blade from a managed version of the Caplin Platform Deployment Framework that’s been added to a source control system, and set it up on another machine.

If you’ve not previously installed the Deployment Framework on the target machine, just follow the instructions in How can I ... [Retrieve the Deployment Framework from source control](cdf-retrieve-the-deployment-framework-from-source-control.md). When you deploy the Framework the blade kits that come with it will be deployed as well.

Conversely, if the Deployment Framework is already installed on the target machine:

* Locate the blade kit in the _<Framework-root>/kits/_ directory of the Deployment Framework in source control.
* Use the relevant source control commands to retrieve the blade to the _<Framework-root>/kits/_ directory of the Deployment Framework on the target machine.
* Deploy the blade: see (as appropriate)

  or
