You can download and build RxKotlin from GitHub (https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxKotlin). It does not require any other dependencies. The documentation on the GitHub Wikipedia page is well-structured. Here is how you can check out the project from GitHub and run the build as follows:
$ git clone https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxKotlin.git $ cd RxKotlin/ $ ./gradlew build
You can also use Maven and Gradle, as instructed on the page.
We are using RxKotlin version 2.2.0 for this book.
Now, let's take a look at what RxKotlin is all about. We will begin with something well-known, and gradually we will get into the secrets of the library.
