+## Prerequisites
 
+The Automation service is currently tested against Ubuntu 20.04 and Java 11.
 
-## Run with dev profile
+To quickly install Java 11 on a Debian-based Linux distro do:
 
 ```bash
-./mvnw clean quarkus:dev
+sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk -y
 ```
 
-## Running tests
+Feel free to try more recent Java versions.
+
+## Compile
+
+```bash
+./mvnw compile
+```
+
+## Run tests
+
+```bash
+./mvnw test
+```
 
-Run unit and functional tests `./mvnw clean test`
+## Run service
+
+```bash
+./mvnw quarkus:dev
+````
+
+## Clean
+
+```bash
+./mvnw clean
+```
