Building Gaffer

Build Instructions

The latest instructions for building Gaffer are in our README.

Supported Platforms

A recent Linux distribution is recommended, although it should be possible to build Gaffer on any system which has the latest version of Java 8 or 11 (the Gaffer codebase uses Java 8). Running tests on Windows is not recommended due to complexities with native libraries.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to the project. See our ways of working for more detail. All contributors must sign the GCHQ Contributor Licence Agreement.
