+## Building JARs yourself

+If you want to build Bitcoin-S JARs yourself, you need to use the
+[sbt](https://www.scala-sbt.org/) build tool. Once you have sbt
+installed, run `sbt publishLocal`. This places the required JAR
+files in your `.ivy2/local` folder. On Linux, this is located at
+`$HOME/.ivy2/local/` by default.
