# Compilation
APRSdroid is written in Scala and uses
[gradle-android-scala-plugin](https://github.com/AllBus/scala-plugin) to
compile the source. It mostly works, but takes roughly three minutes for a
full build, and often produces non-working APKs on incremental builds.
**Google Maps:** you need to
[obtain a Maps API key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/start)
for your signing key, or the map view will remain blank.
Having the Maps API key, do the following to compile and install an APK:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid/
cd aprsdroid
git submodule update --init --recursive
# replace AI... with your API key:
echo "mapsApiKey=AI..." > local.properties
# for a debug build:
./gradlew installDebug
# for a release build:
./gradlew installRelease
```
