Releases
Distros
Rosen Diankov of OpenRAVE maintains a set of Ubuntu packages for assimp, which can be found here. Packages for Ubuntu, ArchLinux and Fedora/RedHat are also available. Many Linux distributions have Assimp in their default repositories.
Compiler Matrix
Assimp uses cmake as its build system, so it's pretty flexible.
boost(external link) is recommended to compile everything from scratch (but not mandatory: we do have thin replacements for the required boost headers).

This does not mean you can't use Assimp with a compiler or platform not listed here, it just means we don't test it regularly - or no one tried it yet.
Git
The latest source is available via Git from Github. Be aware, however, that we can't make any guarantees that a particular revision works on your platform. For production use, our recommendation is to use one of the stable releases. Nevertheless, taking the source from Git is cool to try out the latest importers and bug fixes. Forking us on Github and doing a pull-request to the main repository is the easiest way to contribute to assimp!
For anonymous checkout use:
$ git clone git://github.com/assimp/assimp.git assimp
