-Greenstone requires Java 1.4.
+Build and install:
+
+Greenstone is built and installed using Ant (Apache's Java based build tool, 
+http://ant.apache.org). You will need a Java Development 
+Environment (1.4 or higher), and Ant installed to use Greenstone.
+
+In the gsdl3 directory, you can run ant which will give you a help message.
+Running 'ant -projecthelp' gives a list of the targets that you can run - these
+do various things like compile the source code, startup the server etc.
+
+For a first time install, run 'ant install'.
+
+The file build.properties contains various parameters that can be set by the user.

 Running Greenstone:
 -------------------
 
-Run the script gs3-launch.sh from the gsdl3 directory. This starts up a Tomcat web server and a mysql database server. To shutdown, run gs3-launch.sh -shutdown
+To startup the servers, run 'ant startup'. 'ant restart' and 'ant shutdown' restarts and shuts down the servers.
