The following steps will ensure your project is cloned properly.

1. git clone https://github.com/SpongePowered/SpongeAPI.git
2. cd SpongeAPI
3. cp scripts/pre-commit .git/hooks

Note: If you do not have Gradle installed then use ./gradlew for Unix systems or Git Bash and gradlew.bat for Windows systems in place of any 'gradle' command.

In order to build SpongeAPI you simply need to run the gradle command. You can find the compiled JAR file in ./build/libs labeled similarly to 'spongeapi-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar'.

Sponge will use a javac version of at least 11. If an older JDK is used to launch Gradle, JDK 11 will be downloaded automatically.
