+
+## Development
+
+If you want to build the application yourself, you will need Java 21 JDK.
+
+The release archive is in the [releases page](https://github.com/dnutiu/ImageTagger/releases).
+
+
+### Building and Running from source
+
+To build from source you will need Java 21 JDK and Gradle.
+
+Due to some GitHub limitations that do not allow me to upload large files, you'll need to download the AIModels
+zip file which contains the deep learning models and place them into the `ImageTagger/src/main/resources/AIModels` path.
+
+To build the project run:
+
+```bash
+gradle build
+```
+
+To run:
+
+```bash
+gradle run
+```
