If you also have JDK 11 installed, you can compile Unciv on your own by cloning (or downloading and unzipping) the project, opening a terminal in the Unciv folder and run the following commands:

Windows

Running: gradlew desktop:run

Building: gradlew desktop:dist

Linux/Mac OS

Running: ./gradlew desktop:run

Building: ./gradlew desktop:dist

If the terminal returns Permission denied or Command not found on Mac/Linux, run chmod +x ./gradlew first. This is a one-time procedure.

If you get an error that Android SDK folder wasn't found, firstly install it by doing in terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install android-sdk (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc.)

After that you should put its folder to the file local.properties by adding this line:

sdk.dir = /path/to/android/sdk which can be /usr/lib/android-sdk or something other.

If during the first launch it throws an error that the JDK version is wrong try this JDK installation.

Gradle may take up to several minutes to download files. Be patient. After building, the output .JAR file should be in /desktop/build/libs/Unciv.jar

For actual development, you'll probably need to download Android Studio and build it yourself - see Contributing :)
