Question about setup to start contributing

[Verdanix]

Hello everyone, As you can probably see in the title, my question is about how do I start to contribute? I cloned the project into Intellij IDEA, ran the panda script by right clicking, then run panda and it did absolutely nothing. I appreciate it your going to help, maybe I'm missing something, I don't know. Thanks!

Hi! For you to run Panda scripts you need:

JDK 8 (or above) git Maven Bash

After cloning the project you have to type /panda build and wait, after the script runs it will generate the PandaSpigot-API and PandaSpigot-Server for you to modify.

Hello, The problem is that I didn't enter the "." before the slash because I saw somewhere not to put that on windows, but I am supposed to get the actual source code for Paper right? These are my logs: https://pastebin.com/JDrwRNr0. I apologize if this is a noob question.

./remap.sh: line 75: mvn: command not found

Looks like you need to install Maven.

[Verdanix]

It is installed though, I installed it through Intellij

[hpfxd]

It needs to be accessible on your $PATH, I'm not sure if IntelliJ does this by default. Here are the official installation instructions.

Hello again, I installed Maven and ran ./panda patch and once again an error happened again: https://pastebin.com/jWq5ZsE1

run ./panda setup (to prepare paper to apply the patches too) first before running ./panda [apply/patch]

Sorry if I may be misunderstanding, but I did run ./panda setup and ./panda patch, and I did get 2 errors: https://pastebin.com/Spi6AhpZ, as well as the one before (https://pastebin.com/jWq5ZsE1).

./decompile.sh: line 23: jar: command not found

seems like it can't find the jdk to compile the mojang jar before patching paper

I can patch it with java 17 right because isn't it java 8+? I might have to switch if I can't

Just using java 8 if I remember correctly

I mean am I able to compile to a more recent version of java?
