Now let's see how we can build the product from source code.
How to build the product from source code ?

To build the source code of WSO2 API Manager, you need following software to be installed in your machine.
- Oracle Java SE Development Kit JDK 1.7./1.8.
- Apache ActiveMQ JMS Provider 5.5.0 or later
- Apache Maven 3.0.*
- Apache Ant 1.7.0 or later
- A web browser
To build the product from source code, we need following git repositories to be cloned into your machine and checkout the denoted tags.
https://github.com/wso2/carbon-apimgt.git ---- tag v6.1.66
https://github.com/wso2/product-apim.git ---- tag v2.1.0
Then first build carbon-apimgt repository with mvn clean install command.
After successfully finishing it, build the product-apim repository with the same command.
If you do not want to run the testes use the following -D property to skip the tests.
mvn clean install -Dmanven.test.skip=true
After successfully building the product-apim repository, you can find the product as a zip file inside /modules/distribution/prosuct/target directory.
You can extract the zip file and use as described in the above in this documentation like what we have downloaded from the product website.
