Getting started

Run a build with gradle

In the project root, there is a gradlew shell script. The gradlew.bat is for Windows. The script runs the gradle wrapper program, which is included in the project. So there is no local gradle installation needed. To run the wrapper, a Java Development Kit version 8 or higher is needed. The installed version can be checked by running java --version in your shell.

A build is run when the script is run either in the PowerShell or bash. The picture below shows a run in the Windows PowerShell.

Open the project in an IDE

The project can be opened in any IDE. It makes sense to choose an IDE which supports Gradle. IntelliJ IDEA Community is recommended. It can be downloaded using the following link: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download
