where are the installation instructions?

if I were a beginner and had openJDK 20 on macOS, how do I actually get started with Guice? Do I need to clone the repo and then use Bazel or something? Pretty non-obvious from the documentation here; even "Getting Started" doesn't mention any installation instructions at all, and it doesn't seem entirely obvious to me.

If this repo is purely for people developing Guice itself (as opposed to using it as a dependency in their own application, which is significantly more common), perhaps a simple blurb in the README with something like "this repo is for developing Guice itself; if you want to USE Guice, see such and such directions for Maven etc etc" ???

this would save newcomers a significant amount of confusion and time wasted?

[xdavidliu]

it looks like the guides in this repo are targeted for people that want to use Guice, not people that want to develop Guice. In that case, there really should be at least one sentence on how to "get started" here.

The wiki has a getting started page: https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/GettingStarted. Though it doesn't seem to include the Maven blurb. That's on latest release page @ https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/Guice510. I'll see about adding a Maven blurb to GettingStarted or the project README.

The GettingStarted page still doesn't say anything about how to actually get started with Guice, i.e. the very first step of adding a Maven dependency or whatever.
