You can install OR-Tools for Java either from the Maven package
manager, build it from source or use the Java SDK archive.
The Maven option is easier, so we recommend it unless you plan to modify
the source code or customize the build.

The following guides explain how to use OR-Tools for Java using the
published Maven packages:
