2. Download the TLS certificate:

   openssl s_client -showcerts -connect fix.gdax.com:4198 < /dev/null | \
       openssl x509 -outform PEM > fix.gdax.com.pem

3. Build the application:

   mvn package

4. Create a configuration file, etc/example.conf:

   cp etc/example.conf.template etc/example.conf

5. Fill in the API passphrase, key, and secret in the configuration file, etc/example.conf.
