Maven is the quickest way. Steps below are oversimplified without knowing
more detail about the project/plugin.
1. Install Maven
1. 'sudo apt-get install maven'
2.
http://apache.mesi.com.ar/maven/maven-3/3.3.9/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.9-bin.tar.gz
2. Clone git repository
1. git clone <GIT_URL>
3. Change to project root folder (location of Maven pom.xml file)
1. cd <PROJECT_FOLDER>
4. Build it
1. mvn install
The HPI will likely be somewhere in the <PROJECT_FOLDER>/target/ folder.
