How to build

Java 8 is required. If you have multiple Java installations, make sure you export JAVA_HOME to point to the correct version.

Get the source code

This project contains git submodules. Therefore, it should be cloned recursively, i.e.,

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/EllaVator/EllaVator.git

If this is not done at clone time, it can of course be done later, by running

$ git submodule update --init

Build with Gradle

Simply run

$ ./gradlew shadowJar

to build the standalone application, which will be put into build/libs. The standalone application is a jar file, which can be run with

$ java -jar build/libs/EllaVator.jar

Run with Gradle

Instead of building a standalone jar file, it is also possible to just run the application directly, like this:

$ ./gradlew :run
