# Why Contribute?
26
+
27
+
Curriculum on Learn is publicly and freely available under Learn's
28
+
[Educational Content License](https://learn.co/content-license). By
29
+
embracing an open-source contribution model, our goal is for the curriculum
30
+
on Learn to become, in time, the best educational content the world has
31
+
ever seen.
32
+
33
+
We need help from the community of Learners to maintain and improve the
34
+
educational content. Everything from fixing typos, to correcting
35
+
out-dated information, to improving exposition, to adding better examples,
36
+
to fixing tests—all contributions to making the curriculum more effective are

1. Install a recent Java runtime, if you haven't already. We recommend 1.8, but 1.7 will work, too.
11
+
2. In `com.flatironschool.javacs.Main`, we've provided a function `getVersion()`. It should print your system's current version of Java.
12
+
1. We want not only to make this function work but also to make sure that it prints a version compatible with the upcoming lessons.
13
+
2. You might find the following information useful:
14
+
1. You can print information to stdout (usually, your console) with `System.out.println()`.
15
+
2.`System.getProperty()` will, you guessed it, print system properties.
16
+
3. The system properties `"java.version"` and `"java.specification.version"` will both return your system's current version of Java. The former, counter-intuitively, is more specific, and you might need to manipulate the `String` that it returns a bit more.
17
+
4.`Double.parseDouble()` converts a `String` to a `Double`.
18
+
19
+
You can run `ant` or `learn` to test your results. Good luck!
