Plugin uses Gradle to build, but before build you need to install Grammar-Kit plugin to Intellij Idea, right click in file explorer to LatteParser.bnf located in com.jantvrdik.intellij.latte, click to Generate Parser Code, then select PSI root to src/main/gen/com/jantvrdik/intellij/latte/psi and generated parser as src/main/gen/com/jantvrdik/intellij/latte/parser/LatteParser.class

After generating parser files, you need to generate a .flex file from the same .bnf file, right click to file and choose option Generate JFlex Lexer and generate _LatteLexer.flex in the same folder.
