To install, download and unzip the most recent release. Add export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/minijavac-x.y.z/bin" to your bashrc or set the equivalent Windows environment variable.
To build a new release, use gradle distZip or gradle distTar.
Minijavac has three commands: lex, parse and typecheck. Each takes exactly one file and writes to standard out.

usage: minijavac <command> [<args>]
The most commonly used minijavac commands are:

See 'minijavac help <command>' for more information on a specific command.
Build with gradle build. Generate the lexer and parser with gradle generate. Run tests with gradle test. Build an executable jar with gradle build. Run the jar with java -jar build/libs/minijavac-x.y.z.jar sample_inputs/testfile1.java.
