   ```batchfile
   C:\Users\JohnDoe>exercism fetch java
   
   Not Submitted:     1 problem
   java (Hello World) C:\Users\JohnDoe\exercism\java\hello-world
   
   New:               1 problem
   java (Hello World) C:\Users\JohnDoe\exercism\java\hello-world
   
   unchanged: 0, updated: 0, new: 1
   
   ```
-  Change directory into the exercism:

   ```batchfile
   C:\Users\JohnDoe>cd C:\Users\JohnDoe\exercism\java\hello-world
   ```
   
-  Run the tests:

   ```batchfile
   C:\Users\JohnDoe>gradle test
   ```
   *(Don't worry about the tests failing, at first, this is how you begin each exercise.)*
- Solve the exercise.  Find and work through the `GETTING_STARTED.md` guide ([view on GitHub](https://github.com/exercism/xjava/blob/master/exercises/hello-world/GETTING_STARTED.md)).


Good luck!  Have fun!
