- Visit https://github.com/pairing4good/java-koans
- Click the
Fork
button in the upper right. (https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo) - Clone your fork copy to your local computer. (https://help.github.com/en/articles/cloning-a-repository)
- Open a terminal and cd to the directory you cloned:
cd <the directory you just unarchived>
- Within it you'll find:
- koans: this directory contains the application and its lessons, it is all that is needed to advance through the koans themselves and it can be distributed independently
- lib: this directory contains the code the koans engine is comprised of and built with
- gradle: wrapper for build library used to build koans source, setup project files in eclipse/idea, run tests, etc. you probably don't need to touch anything in here
- Change directory to the koans directory:
cd koans
- If you are using windows enter:
run.bat
or./run.sh
if you are using Mac or Linux
- If the koans app is constantly timing out compiling a koan, your computer may be too slow to compile the koan classes with the default timeout value. Update the compile_timeout_in_ms property in koans/app/config/config.properties with a larger value and try again.
