Download Geode source from one of two places: an find a specific Apache Geode (incubating) release from httpat https://geodegithub.incubator.apache.org/ or com/apache/incubator-geode/releases or use the head of the develop branch at https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode. Build instructions for an each Apache Geode (incubating) release are in the README.md or BUILDING.md file within the release. Both sets of the source code use the standard Gradle lifecycle model.

These instructions are targeted to build from the head of the develop branch. All builds require a JDK, version 1.8 or a more recent version.  Set a JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the Java installation. 

Make a clone of the develop branch:

git clone -b develop https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode.git
