How to build and run DacWizard from source

  1. Install a 64-bit Java Development Kit (JDK), if you don't already have one.
  2. Point the JAVA_HOME environment variable to your JDK installation: (In other words, set it to the path of a directory/folder containing a "bin" that contains a Java executable. That path might look something like "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.3.7-hotspot" or "/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/" or "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-17.jdk/Contents/Home" .)
  • using Bash or Zsh: export JAVA_HOME=" path to installation "
  • using Fish: set -g JAVA_HOME " path to installation "
  • using Windows Command Prompt: set JAVA_HOME=" path to installation "
  • using PowerShell: $env:JAVA_HOME = ' path to installation '
  1. Download and extract the More Advanced Vehicles source code from GitHub:
  • using Git:
    • git clone https://github.com/stephengold/DacWizard.git
    • cd DacWizard
  1. Run the Gradle wrapper:
  • using Bash or Fish or PowerShell or Zsh: ./gradlew run
  • using Windows Command Prompt: .\gradlew run

You can restore the project to a pristine state:

  • using Bash or Fish or PowerShell or Zsh: ./gradlew clean
  • using Windows Command Prompt: .\gradlew clean
