Build & Run Instructions

Build & run instructions

Using a command line

Hydra uses the gradle buildsystem. It comes bundled with a wrapper script gradlew.

Assuming the repository is already checked out, open a command line and type:

gradlew build

This will start the build process. The initial build will take a bit longer as usual as gradle downloads all the dependencies needed for the build.

Hydra can be run from the command line by executing the build\assemble\bin\hydra startup script. This script can also be executed from a graphical file browser.

Using the bundled typhon tool

Inside the tools\typhon directory is a python script (typhon.py) which provides a small command line interface to hydra. It will try to locate the gradle wrapper and offers the ability to build and start a local hydra instance.
