Thanks a lot Jim for clarifying this! I did a search on the installation doc and it is indeed mentioned there as well (so apologies for my oversight), however, only at the very end. If I may make one suggestion, please move this section to the beginning.
I tried to build from source as per
docu, which mentions this command:
$ git checkout tags/geomesa-1.3.1 -b geomesa-1.3.1
I can find the tag mentioned here, but not the branch:
$ git branch -a
