title: Building the Source CodeBuilding the Source Code
1) Download and install Android Studio.
2) Open Android Studio and select Check out project from Version Control.
3) Select Git from the popup menu.
4) Enter https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar.git as the Git
Repository URL, then click Clone.

project.
6) Click OK to accept the default settings.

without repeating the previous steps.
8) Select Build > Build APK from the Android Studio menu.
9) When the build process finishes, click Show in File Manager to
open the folder containing the APK file, briar-android-debug.apk.
You can
sideload
this file onto any Android device.
10) Briar is under constant development, so you should check for updates
regularly. To get the latest version of the source code, click the
Update Project button on the Android Studio toolbar.
11) Click OK to accept the default settings.
12) Repeat steps 8 and 9 to build and install the updated app.
