+# Setup the MXNet Package for Java
+
+The following instructions are provided for macOS and Ubuntu. Windows is not yet available.
+
+**Note:** If you use IntelliJ or a similar IDE, you may want to follow the [MXNet-Java on IntelliJ tutorial](../tutorials/java/mxnet_java_on_intellij.html) instead of these instructions.
+
+<hr>
+
+## Maven
+
+### Setup Instructions
+
+**Step 1.** Install dependencies:
+
+**macOS Steps**
+
+```bash
+brew update
+brew tap caskroom/versions
+brew cask install java8
+brew install opencv
+brew install maven
+```
+
+**Ubuntu Steps**
+
+These scripts will install Maven and its dependencies. You will be running the Scala scripts because the MXNet-Java project has a dependency on the MXNet-Scala project.
+
+```bash
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/master/ci/docker/install/ubuntu_core.sh
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/master/ci/docker/install/ubuntu_scala.sh
+chmod +x ubuntu_core.sh
+chmod +x ubuntu_scala.sh
+sudo ./ubuntu_core.sh
+sudo ./ubuntu_scala.sh
+```
+
+**Step 2.** Run the demo MXNet-Java project.
+
+Go to the [MXNet-Java demo project's README](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/tree/master/scala-package/mxnet-demo/java-demo) and follow the directions to test the MXNet-Java package installation.
+
+#### Maven Repository
+
+Package information can be found in the Maven Repository:
+https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.mxnet
+
+**Linux CPU**
+```html
+<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.mxnet/mxnet-full_2.11-linux-x86_64-cpu -->
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.mxnet</groupId>
+    <artifactId>mxnet-full_2.11-linux-x86_64-cpu</artifactId>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+**Linux GPU**
+```html
+<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.mxnet/mxnet-full_2.11-linux-x86_64-gpu -->
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.mxnet</groupId>
+    <artifactId>mxnet-full_2.11-linux-x86_64-gpu</artifactId>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+**macOS CPU**
+```html
+<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.mxnet/mxnet-full_2.11-osx-x86_64-cpu -->
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.mxnet</groupId>
+    <artifactId>mxnet-full_2.11-osx-x86_64-cpu</artifactId>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+**NOTE:** You may specify the version you wish to use by adding the version number to the `dependency` block. For example, to use v1.2.0 you would add `<version>1.2.0</version>`. Otherwise Maven will use the latest version available.
+
+<hr>
+
+## Source
+
+The previously mentioned setup with Maven is recommended. Otherwise, the following instructions for macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows are provided for reference only:
+
+| OS | Step 1 | Step 2 |
+|---|---|---|
+|macOS | [Shared Library for macOS](http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/osx_setup.html#build-the-shared-library) | [Scala Package for macOS](http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/osx_setup.html#install-the-mxnet-package-for-scala) |
+| Ubuntu | [Shared Library for Ubuntu](http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/ubuntu_setup.html#installing-mxnet-on-ubuntu) | [Scala Package for Ubuntu](http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/ubuntu_setup.html#install-the-mxnet-package-for-scala) |
+| Windows | [Shared Library for Windows](http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/windows_setup.html#build-the-shared-library) | <a class="github-button" href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/10549" data-size="large" data-show-count="true" aria-label="Issue apache/incubator-mxnet on GitHub">Call for Contribution</a> |
+
+
+#### Build Java from an Existing MXNet Installation
+If you have already built MXNet **from source** and are looking to setup Java from that point, you may simply run the following from the MXNet source root:
+
+```
+make scalapkg
+make scalainstall
+```
+This will install both the Java Inference API and the required MXNet-Scala package.

+
+## Documentation
+
+Javadocs are generated as part of the docs build pipeline. You can find them published in the [Java API](http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/api/java/index.html) section of the website or by going to the [scaladocs output](https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/api/scala/docs/index.html#org.apache.mxnet.package) directly.
+
+To build the docs yourself, follow the [developer build docs instructions](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/tree/master/docs/build_version_doc#developer-instructions).
