### Compiling Equivalent Exchange 3
IMPORTANT: Please report any issues you have, there might be some problems with the documentation!
***
#### Windows Prerequisites
1. **WARNING:  Make sure you know EXACTLY what you're doing!  It's not any of our faults if your OS crashes, becomes corrupted, etc.**
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.
    * Append `;%JAVA_HOME%\bin`, and click `Ok`.
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.
    * Create an account.
    * 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.

#### Linux Prerequisites
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).
    * In Gentoo, `emerge dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin`
    * In Archlinux, `pacman -S jdk7-openjdk`
    * In Ubuntu/Debian, `apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk`
    * In Fedora, `yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk`
        * If your distribution is not listed, follow the instructions specific to your package manager.
2. Install Git.  To install manually, go [here](http://git-scm.com/).
    * In Gentoo, `emerge dev-vcs/git`
    * In Archlinux, `pacman -S git`
    * In Ubuntu/Debian, `apt-get install git`
    * In Fedora, `yum install git`
        * If your distribution is not listed, follow the instructions specific to your package manager.
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.

#### Mac Prerequisites
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.
    * Create an account.
    * 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.

#### Setup EE3
1. Move/clone `Equivalent-Exchange-3` into `mcdev`.
2. Right now, you should have a directory that looks something like:

***

	mcdev
	\-Equivalent-Exchange-3
		\-EE3's files (should have build.gradle).
***

3. Inside `Equivalent-Exchange-3`, edit the file named `build.properties`.
    * 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).
        * `minecraft_version=1.6.4`
        * `forge_version=9.11.1.964`
        * `mod_version=0.0`
        * `build_number=1`
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).
    * If you see `BUILD FAILED`, check the error output (it should be right around `BUILD FAILED`), fix everything (if possible), and try again.
8. Go to `mcdev\Equivalent-Exchange-3\build\libs`.
    *  You should see a `.jar` file named `EquivalentExchange3-0.0.1.jar`.
9. Copy the jar into your Minecraft mods folder, and play Minecraft (If you have Forge installed on your client).

#### Updating Your Repo (For Windows/Mac)
1. Check to see if pahimar updated EE3 since you last compiled.  If he did, follow these instructions.
2. Open Github.
3. Double-click on pahimar/Equivalent-Exchange-3.
4. At the top, there is a button named `Sync`/`Sync Branch` (or `Refreshing...` if it's still checking).
5. Click `Sync`, and wait for it to finish.
6. Re-compile (or move it to `mcdev` then re-compile, depending on what you did.)

#### Updating Your Repo (For Linux)
1. Check to see if pahimar updated EE3 since you last compiled.  If he did, follow these instructions.
2. Navigate to the repository location.
3. Run `git pull` in Terminal.
4. Re-compile (or move it to `mcdev` then re-compile, depending on what you did).
