Step 1: Check out the source code

Get the spice repository using Subversion from http://www.derkholm.net/svn/repos/spice/trunk/, by doing
 svn checkout http://www.derkholm.net/svn/repos/spice/trunk/ spice 
We will refer to the
./spice
directory from now on as
$SPICE
.

Step 2: compile SPICE

do a
ant clean ; 
ant unjar-libs;
ant -lib ./thirdparty 
This will build and package together a
spice.jar
file in the WWW subdirectory

Step 3: run SPICE from command line

it is now possible to run SPICE from the command line. e.g
java -jar WWW/spice.jar -codetype PDB -code 1BOI
