+Installation notes by Vampeyer  . 
+
+----------------------------------------
+1. Build the project using Gradle:
+Open a terminal in the project root directory and run:
+
+./gradlew build
+(On Windows, use gradlew.bat build instead) This will 
+compile your 
+code and create the necessary artifacts (like JAR files).  
+
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+...... My gradlew.bat file and my  ./gradlew build command both threw the same exception error 
+on my windows machine. 
+
+
+C:\Users\vampeyer\Desktop\HACKATHON-IN-48HRSD-OR-LESS\rootstock ----NOdes\rskj>gradlew.bat
+Error: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain
+Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+....... I was going to build a simple node application for windows mac and android , 
+but it would seem that this is a more critical use need for rootstack. 
+
+- Without a easily reproducible code base for nodes , we are left without a source of truth 
+for further building and extensive developing. 
+
+---- Lets be frank , with ourselves , without a working , 
+- easily compilable 
+- easiy buildable , 
+- easily raplicatable process , the entire thing is difficult , and that is a key 
+core neccesary feature for further adoption of the technology. 
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+
+- So , I will be carefully documenting these major breaks in a folder called ,  
+ERRORS-DURING-BUILD   ,  along with some images to support the break fix request  that is ,  
+---- required , to move forward  ,  we have to be able to build on our machines !

+
+
+Dear rootstock devs  , also 
+
+We cannot afford intelli - J so please dont make too officail documentaion around its functionality , 
+as it is a pricaey one ! 
+
+Please release more basic IDE developing practices.

+ choclolatey , npm -g ( global ) , scoop , or winget. 
+--------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
+For this demonstration i used choco , 
+To install choco , install Node , and in the installation of node on the machine , 
+watch out for a check box that says ,  
+-- install chocololatey package manager via local machine. 
+
+--- verify the install with  
+*choco  -v  
+
+- once your chocolatey package manager 
+ installation is verified ,

+2. Install gradle the easy way , via choco.

+# rjsk-Arrowhead
+RskJ is a Java implementation of the Rootstock node.  --- Rebuilt with Gradle 8.8
+
+--- Main Notes ----- 
+- The Gradle 7.x.x build in the current rjsk node repository  , was causing a major build break issue.  
+- I had tried and repeated the process several times , with stil an error to build and run a node.  
+
+- So I have decided to make my entry to the hackathon a big bug build fix for rootstock. 
+
+
+
+---- Notes -----  
+- The Gradle 7.x.x build in the current rjsk node repository  , was causing a major build break issue. 
+- Solid documentation for the break process and rebuilt  ,  fix instructions are provided as well.   
+- Installed Gradle CLI , on local  Dev env and updated Gradle Wrapper to Gradle 8.8 
+- Re-engineered file system during the process with new API gradle wrappers. 
+
+
+
+- Checked build with Local Gradle CLI - gradle build
+- Checked build with gradlew file   - gradlew build         /                     ./gradlew build  
+
+This project can be much more easily maintained , and if any one else needs to upgrade the gradle wrapper again for any reason , 
+I tried to provde sufficient documentation to start to assist. 
+
+
+The final project redacts some uneccesary config code , and should provide a more 
+stable environment for DRY principles , and overall easability. 
+
+--- Edit as  needed , just give me my credit please and thank you.
