## Building and running the software
This software is written in Java and can be built using [Apache Maven]. In order to build the software you have to
follow these steps:
1. `git clone https://github.com/tesseract4java/tesseract4java.git`
2. `cd tesseract4java`
3. `git submodule init`
4. `git submodule update`
5. `mvn clean package -Pstandalone`. This will include the Tesseract binaries for your platform. You can manually
define the platform by providing the option `-Djavacpp.platform=[PLATFORM]` (available platforms are
`windows-x86_64`, `windows-x86`, `linux-x86_64`, `linux-x86`, and `macosx-x86_64`).
After you've run through all steps, the directory "gui/target" will contain the file
"tesseract4java-[VERSION]-[PLATFORM].jar", which you can run by double-clicking or executing
`java -jar tesseract4java-[VERSION]-[PLATFORM].jar`.
