+
+# Requirements
+
+Building the API client library requires [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) to be installed.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install the API client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute:
+
+```shell
+mvn install
+```
+
+To deploy it to a remote Maven repository instead, configure the settings of the repository and execute:
+
+```shell
+mvn deploy
+```
+
+Refer to the [official documentation](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/usage.html) for more information.

+# BUILDING YOUR LIBRARY
+
+See the homepage `https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen` for full details.
+But briefly, clone the git repository, build the codegen codebase, set up your build
+config file, then run the API build script. You will need git, Java 7 or 8 and Apache
+maven 3.0.3 or better already installed.
+
+Your library files will be built under `WWW::MyProjectName`.
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen.git
+ $ cd swagger-codegen
+ $ mvn package
+ $ java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
+ -i [URL or file path to JSON swagger API spec] \
+ -l akka-scala \
+ -c /path/to/config/file.json \
+ -o /path/to/output/folder
+
+Bang, all done. Run the `autodoc` script in the `bin` directory to see the API
+you just built.
