We recommend you visit https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/[Spring Security Reference] and read the "Getting Started" page.

== Building from Source
Spring Security uses a https://gradle.org[Gradle]-based build system.
In the instructions below, https://vimeo.com/34436402[`./gradlew`] is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build.
