To build this application you need Gradle and git (in addition to JDK 11+ with JavaFX module). From project directory execute one of the following commands:

1. Build and run application from source:

    $ ./gradlew run
   

2. Build uber-JAR (will be created in app/build/libs):

    $ ./gradlew shadowJar
   

3. Build deb-package (will be created in app/build/distributions):

    $ ./gradlew releaseDeb
   

Note: if you don't have git installed you should remove from app/build.gradle git invocation code at gitRevision and gitShortRevision variables.
