+= Running Apollo
+
+This is a short guide to getting a copy of Apollo from our VCS and running a server able to accept connections from a game client.
+It assumes you're starting fresh and have no local copy of Apollo.
+
+== Requirements
+
+You should be familiar with running programs on the UNIX shell or Windows command prompt.
+There is also a short list of prerequisites below needed to complete this guide.
+
+ * Git
+ * Gradle
+ * Java 8
+ * RuneScape r377 game data files footnote:[We are unable to provide user-end assets like the game data or client due to copyright restrictions.]
+
+== Getting Apollo
+
+NOTE: Apollo is still in a development phase and has no current stable release,
+so to run the server we need to build it from sources first.
+
+The URL for the Apollo git repository is https://github.com/apollo-rsps/apollo.git.  You can clone this using the `git` command-line client
+or by using the https://help.github.com/desktop/guides/contributing-to-projects/cloning-a-repository-from-github-desktop/[GitHub desktop client].
+
+```
+> $ git clone https://github.com/apollo-rsps/apollo.git
+```
+
+If using the command line client, the repository will now be under a folder named _apollo_ and is ready to build.
+When complete open a shell or Windows command prompt in that directory and move to the next step.
+
+== Building Apollo
+
+Apollo uses Gradle build scripts as it's build system. To build it, create a command prompt or shell in the Apollo repository folder and run:
+```
+> $ gradle build genRsa
+```
+
+This will build the core server with the content plugins and run their respective tests.
+This process takes around a minute to complete and when done will generate and output a set of RSA key parameters used by connecting clients to encrypt their credentials.
+Save these for later.
+
+== Starting Apollo
+
+The last dependency is putting the game data in a location where the server can find it.
+By default Apollo looks under  `data/fs` in the root directory for a folder matching the release number.
+Apollo supports release 377, so in our case we want the directory structure to look like this:
+
+```
+data/fs
+└── 377
+    ├── jingle1.mid
+    ├── main_file_cache.dat
+    ├── main_file_cache.idx0
+    ├── main_file_cache.idx1
+    ├── main_file_cache.idx2
+    ├── main_file_cache.idxN
+```
+
+Now that everything is in place we can use the Gradle task to boot the server
+```
+> $ gradle server:run
+```
+After booting Apollo will have loaded the game data and be ready to accept connections.
