Required Software

• Git
• Java 8 JDK
  
  • Make sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the newly installed JDK location, and that your PATH includes %JAVA_HOME%\bin (Windows) or $JAVA_HOME/bin (*NIX).
• Maven
  
  • Installation instructions
  • Make sure that Maven has enough memory to build DDF. Set appropriate memory settings in the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable such as "-Xms64m -Xmx4096m"

Setting up a Build Environment

If you haven't already, begin by setting up your development environment

Cloning

In order to run through a full build, be sure to have a clone for the ddf repository and optionally the ddf-support repository (NOTE: daily snapshots are deployed so downloading and building each repo may not be necessary since those artifacts will be retrieved.):
