There are automated scripts for building and cleaning Galp directly from this source repository.
After downloading the repository, Galp can be built by running the 'buildjava' script from a terminal. There's a bash script provided for Unix platforms, and a batch file for Windows.
After building, you can run Galp directly from the command line with 'java -jar build/galp.jar' if you're in the root 'galp' folder.
There's also a script provided for cleaning previous build files titled 'clean'. It's recommended to always clean before starting a fresh build. Again, there's a bash script provided for Unix platforms, and a batch file for Windows.
In order to build Galp you must have the JDK (Java Developement Kit) installed and on your PATH. This can be freely downloaded from Java website. Any version 8 or higher is fine.
