1. The easiest way to setup a working environment is to open Magisk Manager with Android Studio. The IDE will download required components and construct the environment for you. Don't forget to set `ANDROID_HOME` environment variable to the SDK path.
2. Windows users: while installing Python 3 on Windows, allow the installer to add Python to `PATH`, or you'll have to add it manually afterwards. By default, the Python executable is setup as `python`, not `python3` like most Unix environment. If you have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed, you'll have to deal with the executable name and `PATH` yourself. To double check the Python version, call `python --version`.
3. To run the script, on Windows call `python build.py [args...]`; on Unix call `python3 build.py [args...]`, or simply `./build.py [args...]`. To see the built-in help message, call the script with `-h` as an argument. The `-h` option also works for each supported actions to see the help message for the specific action.
4. By default, the script will build binaries and Magisk Manager in debug mode, which will enable verbose debugging messages. If you want to build Magisk Manager in release mode (through the flag `--release`), you will need to place your Java Keystore file in `release_signature.jks` to sign Magisk Manager's APK. For more information, check out [Google's Official Documentation](https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing.html#signing-manually).
5. The python build script uses ANSI color codes to change the color of the terminal output. For Windows, this **only** works on Windows 10, as previous Windows console do not support them. If you use an older Windows version, a quick Google search should provide many workarounds.
