• Clone sources: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk.git
• Install Python 3.6+
  (Windows only: select 'Add Python to PATH' in installer, and run pip install colorama after install)
• Configure to use the JDK bundled in Android Studio:
  • macOS: export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home"
  • Linux: export PATH="/path/to/androidstudio/jre/bin:$PATH"
  • Windows: Add C:\Path\To\Android Studio\jre\bin to environment variable PATH
• Set environment variable ANDROID_SDK_ROOT to the Android SDK folder (can be found in Android Studio settings)
• Run ./build.py ndk to let the script download and install NDK for you
• To start building, run build.py to see your options.
  For each action, use -h to access help (e.g. ./build.py all -h)
• To start development, open the project with Android Studio. The IDE can be used for both app (Kotlin/Java) and native (C++/C) sources.
• Optionally, set custom configs with config.prop. A sample config.prop.sample is provided.
• To sign APKs and zips with your own private keys, set signing configs in config.prop. For more info, check Google's Documentation.
