2. Download the steam_appid.txt file and place it in the same folder as the jar.
3. Place the desktop.jar and steam_appid.txt in the same folder.
4. Ensure steam is running and you are logged in, double click the jar and it should then open the client on steam.

Manual Install

Removed due to this no longer working correctly in v7, may rewrite later.

See CONTRIBUTING.

Building

Unstable builds are generated automatically for every commit. You can see them here.

If you'd rather compile on your own, follow these instructions. First, make sure you have JDK 16-17 installed. Other JDK versions will not work. Open a terminal in the Mindustry directory and run the following commands:

Windows

Running: gradlew desktop:run
Building: gradlew desktop:dist
Sprite Packing: gradlew tools:pack

Linux/Mac OS

Running: ./gradlew desktop:run
Building: ./gradlew desktop:dist
Sprite Packing: ./gradlew tools:pack

Server

The client doesn't work as a server believe it or not.

Android

1. Install the Android SDK here. Make sure you're downloading the "Command line tools only", as Android Studio is not required.
2. In the unzipped Android SDK folder, find the cmdline-tools directory. Then create a folder inside of it called latest and put all of its contents into the newly created folder.
3. In the same directory run the command sdkmanager --licenses (or ./sdkmanager --licenses if on linux/mac)
4. Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to point to your unzipped Android SDK directory.
5. Enable developer mode on your device/emulator. If you are on testing on a phone you can follow these instructions, otherwise you need to google how to enable your emulator's developer mode specifically.
6. Run gradlew android:assembleDebug (or ./gradlew if on linux/mac). This will create an unsigned APK in android/build/outputs/apk.

To debug the application on a connected device/emulator, run gradlew android:installDebug android:run.

Troubleshooting

Permission Denied

If the terminal returns Permission denied or Command not found on Mac/Linux, run chmod +x ./gradlew before running ./gradlew. This is a one-time procedure.

---

Gradle may take up to several minutes to download files. Be patient.
After building, the output .JAR file should be in /desktop/build/libs/Mindustry.jar
