+You will need the following:<br/>
+<ul>
+ <li> Obtain: git</li>
+ <li> Build/run: Java Development Kit (JDK). JDK11 is now the recommended platform for developing with Jalview. You can obtain a pre-compiled JDK11 for many platforms from https://adoptopenjdk.net/</li>
+ <li> Build: Gradle 5.1 or later. On linux you can obtain this with your package manager (e.g. <code>sudo yum install gradle</code> or <code>sudo apt install gradle</code> or on macOS with brew with <code>brew install gradle</code></li>
+</ul>
+With any luck, once you check out the Jalview source from git and set your JAVA_HOME and PATH correctly, you just need to change to the <code>jalview</code> directory and run <code>gradle getdown</code>.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Obtaining Jalview</h2>
+<p>This is easiest achieved with git:
+<pre>git clone http://www.jalview.org/git/jalview.git</pre>
+Then you can <code>cd jalview</code> to get into the top level jalview dir.
+
+
+<p>
+<h2>Minimal Jalview build</h2>
+<p>To run Jalview, you just need the jalview classes and the .jar libraries that Jalview depends on.</p>
