    • Adoptium GitHub

Building the project:

• Prerequisites:
  • JDK 17
    • Adoptium
    • Adoptium GitHub
  • A bit more command line knowledge.

1. Download this repository with the green code button.
2. Run the build command:
   • Build portable images (this one is easier):
     1. Run ./gradlew jlinkZip
     2. Check build for the .zip images.
   • Build installers & executables:
     1. Check Oracle's website for info on your system's prerequisites.
     2. Change the jpackageTargetPlatform variable in the ext blcok of the build.gradle file to match your operating system and architecture.
     3. Run ./gradlew jpackage
     4. Check build/jpackage for the installer(s) and build/jpackage/Wordle for the executable.
        • Note: By default, the jpackage task runs the jlink task as well. To speed up the build, you can comment out the targetPlatform() functions in the jlink block of the build.gradle file that you don't want to build for.
