## How to Run The Tests
+We use a shell script to drive the test of different scenarios so the test
+will only run on unix-like environments. The script expects a few command
+line tools to be available on PATH: git, mvn, wget, grep, sed, java.
+
Before running the tests, make sure you have already built the protoc binary
following [the C++ installation instructions](../../src/README.md). The test
scripts will use the built binary located at ${protobuf}/src/protoc.
