    $ mkdir <devkit dir>

  3. Extract the devkit package to your installation directory <devkit dir>
    $ unzip devkit_<version>.zip

  4. Setting Up the Environment Variables for the DTK.

    For example:

    $ javac -cp <devkit dir>/lib/devkit.jar -sourcepath . com/mycompany/myplugin/*.java Where: com/mycompany/myplugin/, is your the code that you will build
