### Building
Bleeding-edge live builds are generated automatically for every commit. You can see them [here](https://jenkins.hellomouse.net/job/mindustry/).
If you'd rather compile on your own, follow these instructions.
First, make sure you have Java 8 and JDK 8 installed. Open a terminal in the root directory, `cd` to the Mindustry folder and run the following commands:
#### Windows
_Running:_ `gradlew desktop:run`
_Building:_ `gradlew desktop:dist`
#### Linux/Mac OS
_Running:_ `./gradlew desktop:run`
_Building:_ `./gradlew desktop:dist`
#### Server
Server builds are bundled with each released build (in Releases). If you'd rather compile on your own, replace 'desktop' with 'server', e.g. `gradlew server:dist`.
##### Troubleshooting
If the terminal returns `Permission denied` or `Command not found` on Mac/Linux, run `chmod +x ./gradlew` before running `./gradlew`. *This is a one-time procedure.*
---
Gradle may take up to several minutes to download files. Be patient.
After building, the output .JAR file should be in `/desktop/build/libs/desktop-release.jar` for desktop builds, and in `/server/build/libs/server-release.jar` for server builds.
