[Compiling EE3](https://github.com/pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3#compiling-equivalent-exchange-3) - For those that want the latest unreleased features.
2. Download and install the Java JDK [here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html). Scroll down, accept the `Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE`, and download it. (If you have a 64-bit OS, please download the 64-bit version.)
* Go to `Control Panel\System and Security\System`, and click on `Advanced System Settings` on the left-hand side.
* Click on `Environment Variables`.
* Under `System Variables`, click `New`.
* For `Variable Name`, input `JAVA_HOME`.
* For `Variable Value`, input something similar to `;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45` exactly as shown to the end (or wherever your Java JDK installation is), and click `Ok`.
* Scroll down to a variable named `Path`, and double-click on it.
3. Download and install Github [here](http://windows.github.com/) NOTE: This Github application is optional, you can use whatever you want, e.g. TortoiseGit.
* Scroll to the top of this page, login at the top-right, and then click `Clone to Windows` at the bottom of the right-hand toolbar.
* You should see Github flash and `pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3` appear. (The local repository on Windows defaults to `C:\Users\(username)\Documents\GitHub\Equivalent-Exchange-3`, you can change it if you want but then you have to find it again on Github).
4. Create an empty directory for EE3 development. This directory is referenced as `mcdev` from now on. It can be where you cloned EE3, but it'll be a little messy.
1. Make sure you have the latest Java JDK installed. To install manually, go [here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html). Otherwise, install from the package manager or the terminal (listed).
3. Open your shell and move to a convenient directory, then run `git clone https://github.com/pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3.git`. This will download the repository.
4. Create an empty directory for EE3 development. This directory is referenced as `mcdev` from now on. It can be where you cloned EE3, but it'll be a little messy.
1. Download and install the Java JDK [here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html). Scroll down, accept the `Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE`, and download it. (Mac OS X comes with the JRE, but not the JDK.)
2. Download and install Github for Mac OSX (10.7+) [here](http://mac.github.com/) NOTE: This Github application is optional, you can use whatever you want.
* Scroll to the top of this page, login at the top-right, and then click `Clone to Mac` at the bottom of the right-hand toolbar.
* You should see Github flash and `pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3` appear. (The local repository on Mac defaults to `/Users/[username]/github/Equivalent-Exchange-3/`. To change it, change the "Local Path")
3. Create an empty directory for EE3 development. This directory is referenced as `mcdev` from now on. It can be where you cloned EE3, but it'll be a little messy.
* You may change the build string (`mod_version` and `build_number`), and the Minecraft and Forge version you are building for (but only down to 9.11.1.960).
4. Open up your OS's command line (Command Prompt in Windows, Terminal in Linux and Mac).
5. Navigate to `mcdev\Equivalent-Exchange-3` by executing `cd mcdev's location\Equivalent-Exchange-3`.
6. Execute `gradle setupDevWorkspace`. This sets up Forge, and downloads the necessary libraries to build EE3. (Takes about 2 minutes the first time).
7. Execute `gradle build`. If you've done everything right, `BUILD SUCCESSFUL` is displayed after it finishes. (Takes about 1 minute, depending on your computer).
1.**IMPORTANT: PAHIMAR DOES *NOT* WANT ANY**`build.xml`**CHANGES, UNLESS it fixes up something broken** (See [Pull Request #90](https://github.com/pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3/pull/90)).
4. Make the changes that you want to (In Linux, you'll have to run `git commit -a`, and `git push` after cloning your forked repository to upload the changes).
5. Click `Pull Request` at the right-hand side of the gray bar directly below your fork's name.
6. Click `Click to create a pull request for this comparison`, enter your PR's title, and create a detailed description telling pahimar what you changed.
