This goes back to why we need to update the documentation... I'll update that soon so it is easier to find.
Essentially I suggest using the instructions on git to get going: https://github.com/apache/bigtop#for-developers-building-a-component-from-git-repository For more info on the commands used (on that git page use this helpful gem (that is buried a bit) https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Quickstart+Guide%3A+Bigtop+Integration+Test+Framework+2.0 Whatever you do, please use docker to build it.... It will save you a heap of dependency issues. Please learn from my pain.
