1. Install Maven
2. In a terminal go into the folder giles-{version}/giles-spring
3. You need only one command to build Giles: mvn clean package. This will delete all previous built files and generate a war file. However, you need to specify the above listed properties for Giles to work correctly.
4. To specify a property when running Maven, the easiest way is to append -D{property_name}={property_value}. For example, if your database user is called "giles", then you would append -Ddb.user=giles to the Maven command. The complete command would look like this: mvn clean package -Ddb.user=giles.

5. Append each property to the command like described in step 4. You complete command string will look something like this:
   
   mvn clean package -Ddb_files=/path/to/db/files -Dadmin.password=GilesPassword -Dgithub.clientId=githubClientId -Dgithub.secret=githubClientSecret -Ddb.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver -Ddb.database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/giles -Ddb.user=giles -Ddb.password=GilesDbPassword -Ddigilib.url=http://myserver.org/digilib/servlet/Scaler -DdigilibBaseDir=/path/to/digilib/images -Djars.url=http://myserver.org/jars -Dgiles.base.url=http://myserver.org/giles

    

6. Maven will create a new folder in giles-spring called target. Inside this folder  If Maven ran successfully you will find a find a file called giles.war if Maven ran successfully inside this folder.

7. Simply put giles.war into your Tomcat's webapp directory and you should be good to go!
