At the moment LUWRAIN compilation requires installed Java SE 17 or later, Apache Maven and Apache Ant. The last is needed for the compilation of apps, but the LUWRAIN core utilizes Apache Maven only.

In order to compile the LUWRAIN core without apps, just do mvn install. This will allow you to create your own apps.

If you would like to compile the entire code of LUWRAIN, including apps, please do the following (assuming you are running any Linux distro):

cd base/script
./lwr-ant-gen-all
./lwr-build
