After you've cloned the repository, you probably want to pull down the submodules (core plugins, some dependencies). This can be achieved with `git submodule init` and then on a regular basis (to keep up to date) `git submodule update`.
Linux builds can be downloaded from [the Berboe CI server](http://ci.berboe.co.uk) and windows from xoft's [nightly build service](http://mc-server.xoft.cz).
After you've extracted the files, simply run the MCServer executable.
