 The build script assumes that a Mac or Linux environment is being used - Windows builds are not currently directly supported (although would be possible using [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/)). Additionally, you may need to alter the paths for the above programs to reflect where they are installed on your own computer - this can be done in the [`build/include.sh`](build/include.sh) script.
 
 The output files are placed into `built/DataTables/` which is a temporary directory. No changes should be made in that directory as they will be **overwritten** when you next build the software.
