 This is a really quick and dirty thrown together command line chat client mainly used to test [smack-omemo](https://github.com/vanitasvitae/smack-omemo). 
 Use it on your own risk if you are into kinky things like dirty lines of code...
+
+To build it, you must first clone smack-omemo and install it in your local maven repo:
+
+```
+git clone git@github.com:vanitasvitae/smack-omemo.git
+cd smack-omemo
+gradle install
+```
+
+Next you can clone and build clocc:
+
+```
+cd ..
+git clone git@github.com:vanitasvitae/clocc.git
+cd clocc
+gradle assemble
+```
+
+You can find the finished jar in `build/libs`.
+
+Have fun!
