Set up a local workspace and run Terasology from source

MovingBlocks

To get started working with Terasology you'll need to have the game's engine repository up and running in a local workspace. This is a fairly easy task to start off with, and an integral prerequisite for some of the more challenging ones!

Definition of 'Done'

You've managed to install an IDE like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse and run the game from the IDE. (We recommend IntelliJ iDEA as it is better configured for Terasology's codebase, unless you are particularly comfortable with eclipse)
A screenshot of the game running and of the IDE (With your name included somewhere in the screenshot, in-game chat would be the best place).
Bonus: Also add a new block to the game and show a screenshot of it placed in-game. See the asset tutorial
Double bonus: Submit your new block to a Pull Request against the Sample repo - see the Module dev guide
