I'll add that it did not take that much to get it up and running on Linux. I had an Ubuntu 16.04 ISO already so I built a VM and updated everything. I used the commands on the build-linux.md file to get all of the dev software installed. The only package missing was java... (sudo apt-get install default-jdk). Once I had cloned the repo I did the make commands to config and compile.
