## Building KickC
The prerequisites for locally building KickC are the following
* [Java 8+](https://openjdk.java.net/)
* [Apache Maven 3+](https://maven.apache.org)
The steps to building KickC are
1. Download, Fork or Clone the source code from https://gitlab.com/camelot/kickc
2. Build and package the KickC compiler by entering the source directory and executing `mvn package`.
If you want to skip the time-consuming tests you can add the option `-DskipTests`.
3. The zipped release is placed in `target/kickc-release.zip`. You can now unzip it to a folder of your choice to start using the compiler.
