Building TextSecure
===================
=====================

TextSecure uses [Gradle](http://gradle.org) to build the project and to maintain
dependencies.
./gradlew build

git clone https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure.git
2. Make sure you have the [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) installed somewhere on your system.
3. Ensure the "Android Support Repository" is installed from the Android SDK manager.
