Install git, java (only the runtime is necessary), and cmake (>= v3.0).
- Until now, cmake has found the dependencies without issues. If you encounter an issue, let a TA know and we can fix it.
Make a directory that you intend to build the project in and change into that directory.
Run cmake <path-to-Generator-Base>.
Run make.
Done.

If there are updates to your assignment you can retrieve them using the instructions here.

Add the upstream as a remote using git remote add upstream <clone-link>.
Fetch updates from the upstream using git fetch upstream
Merge the updates into a local branch using git merge <local branch> upstream/<upstream branch>. Usually both branches are master.
Make sure that everything builds before committing to your personal master! It's much easier to try again if you can make a fresh clone without the merge!

Once the remote has been added, future updates are simply the fetch and merge steps.
