Building Bisq

git lfs version
You should see the version of Git LFS you installed, for example:
git-lfs/2.10.0 (GitHub; darwin amd64; go 1.13.6)
-
Clone Bisq
git clone https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq cd bisq
-
Pull LFS data
git lfs pull
-
Build Bisq
On macOS and Linux, execute:
./gradlew build
On Windows:
gradlew.bat build
If you prefer to skip tests to speed up the building process, just append -x test to the previous commands.
Important notes
-
You do not need to install Gradle to build Bisq. The
gradlew
shell script will install it for you, if necessary. -
Bisq currently works with JDK 11 only. JDK 12 and above are not supported. You can find out which version you have with:
javac -version
If you do not have JDK 11 installed, check out scripts in the scripts directory or download it manually from https://jdk.java.net/archive/.
Running Bisq
Once Bisq is installed, its executables will be available in the root project directory. Run Bisq Desktop as follows:
On macOS and Linux:
./bisq-desktop
On Windows:
bisq-desktop.bat
