Question Re: Lift Tracker - 1.0

Any chance I could get a little more guidance/advice for a complete noob?
I'm a very good programmer but have not yet worked in the environments called for for robot programming.
Just learning the LabView stuff for robot control.

For instance...
1. The instructions say "install" opencv but when I go and download it from the site I just get a folder of libraries. There's nothing to install. So, are you really just saying "go download the libraries"?

2. Why do I have to download Network Tables 3.0 if it is already in the repo.
I did a git clone of the repo so am I good with Network Tables?
(Side note - I understand the concept of Network Tables but haven't used them yet - I'll be Googling that to try and figure it out.)
It says make sure it is in the "build path". Build Path for what toolchain?

3. I download and installed GRIP for windows. I tried to open the .grip file and it crashed GRIP and wouldn't open. Is that because maybe I don't have the opencv files in the "correct" place or the Network Tables file in the right spot?

4. Export the project as a runnable JAR. Using what tool?

I don't think if you respond it has to be in too much detail. Broad strokes are good. I can Google and follow-up with any unresolved issues after I work on it some more.
