You can use GraalVM just like any other Java Development Kit in your IDE. Please refer to the [GraalVM website for documentation][docs]. You can find most of the documentation sources in the docs/ directory in the same hierarchy as displayed on the website. Additional documentation including developer instructions for individual components can be found in corresponding docs/ sub-directories. The documentation for the Truffle framework, for example, is in truffle/docs/ . This also applies to languages, tools, and other components maintained in related repositories. Instructions for building GraalVM from source are in vm/README.md . Open a [GitHub issue][issues] for reproducible bugs and concrete feature requests. Use GitHub Discussions or join the [GraalVM Slack][slack] for questions, design discussion, and general community support. Read the contribution guide before opening a pull request.
