# Tusky This is an android client for [Mastodon, a GNU Social-compatible microblogging server](https://mastodon.social). Presently, it is in active development and its current state does not represent the features or design of the final program. Also, [my mastodon account is Vavassor@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/users/Vavassor). ## Building ### Dependencies - Java Development Kit 7 or higher - Android SDK The project uses [the Gradle build system](https://gradle.org). Android studio uses Gradle by default, so it'd be straightforward to import this repository using your chosen version control software from the menu:
VCS > Checkout from version control > Git/SVN/Mercurial
After making it into an android studio project you can build/run as you wish. It's also possible to build using Gradle by itself on the command line if you have it installed and configured. This repository includes a gradle wrapper script that can be used, following this guide [Build You App On The Command Line](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/building-cmdline.html).
