+*There will be lots of build errors.*
+2. Using Ant, execute the `build.xml` script in the project root.<br/>
+*This will download all necessary build dependencies and will also generate the Keys class for accessing settings.*
+3. Select your gitblit project root and **Refresh** the project, this should correct all build problems.
+4. Using JUnit, execute the `com.gitblit.tests.GitBlitSuite` test suite.<br/>
+*This will clone some repositories from the web and run through the unit tests.*
