Setup your environment

Install Java Development Kit 7 or 8. Make sure that $JAVA_HOME points to it.
Install Maven 3 or newer. Make sure that mvn is in your $PATH and $M2_HOME points to its installation.
Install Protocol Buffers Compiler (protoc) 2.5. Make sure that protoc is in your PATH. Note: You need to install version 2.5. Newer versions won't work.
For C# support:
- Install Visual Studio 2013. Any edition will do, most REEF developers use the free Community Edition.
- Setup your environment to point to that installation. You can do that by either using the Developer Command Line or in PowerShell following these instructions.

With these requirements met, the instructions below should work regardless of OS choice and command line interpreter
