# Building and Installation:

To build, make sure you have the Android SDK installed from http://developer.android.com.
Then create a file in the top level of the repository called local.properties and
paste the following into it:

sdk.dir=/path/to/sdk

Substituting your SDK path as appropriate.

Then build by typing:

$ ant debug

Or to build and install type:

$ ant install

# Bug Reports and Feedback:

There will be a bug tracker at some point, but for now send all communication to the author's email
address above.
