+# KLARRIO build instructions
+## Creating a new release
+1. Bump the version in the pom.xml file. The first part is the upstream version, the second part the Klarrio version of that particular upstream.
+2. `mvn deploy` (see below)
+3. tag & release on github
+
+## Deployment
+To deploy the library to Artifactory, you need to create a Maven settings file:
+
+* go to the [Jfrog Artifactory Repository Browser](https://klarrio.jfrog.io/)
+* Click on 'Set Me Up'
+* Select Maven - Generate Maven Settings
+* Fill in your password, and all settings for the repos
+* Click 'Generate Settings' - 'Download Snippet' (if this is not available, see below)
+* Save the settings.xml file to ~/.m2
+* In this file you need to add 2 properties:
+
+```  
+  <profiles>
+    <profile>
+      <properties>
+        <artifactoryusername>you@klarrio.com</artifactoryusername>
+        <artifactorypassword>APXYZAbcDeftJGWzg7jyaBhJs</artifactorypassword>
+      </properties>
+```
+
+Once this is set up, you can deploy the library using
+`mvn deploy`
+
+### When 'Generate Settings' is greyed out
+Copy the template below, substitute `...` with your username and password, and save it as `~/.m2/settings.xml`.
