A good first step towards contributing to any open source project is getting it to build locally. Would work through the following steps to get Accumulo to build locally. 1. Get a linux development environment setup. 2. Install openjdk 17 or greater 3. Install Apache Maven 4. Install git 5. Clone the accumulo project to your linux machine using git 6. Run "mvn clean package -DskipTest" to build Then after that can get an ide setup like intellij or eclipse and import the project, make a change, and then run some tests. After that is all sorted we can help you find a suitable issue to get started working on for a pull request. Feel free to ask questions about any problems you have with the steps above here or in slack[1]. [1]: https://accumulo.apache.org/contact-us/#slack > Thank you so much, > Robert K >
