Maven Quickstart¶

Check out source code¶

Check out the source code from the git repository.:

git clone git://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.git geoserver

To list the available branches.:

% git branch
   2.15.x
   2.16.x
 * main

Choose main for the latest development.:

% git checkout main

Or chose a stable branch for versions less likely to change often:

% git checkout 2.16.x

In this example we will pretend that your source code is in a directory called geoserver, but a more descriptive name is recommended.

Command line build¶

#. Change directory to the root of the source tree and execute the maven build command:

cd geoserver/src
mvn install -DskipTests -T 2C

This will result in significant downloading of dependencies on the first build.

1. A successful build will result in output that ends with something like the following:
