#### How do I create an account? #### How do I create an account?
XMPP, like email, is a federated protocol, which means that there is not one company you can create an *official XMPP account* with. Instead there are hundreds, or even thousands, of providers out there. One of those providers is our very own [conversations.im](https://account.conversations.im). If you don’t like to use *conversations.im* use a web search engine of your choice to find another provider. Or maybe your university has one. Or you can run your own. Or ask a friend to run one. Once you've found one, you can use Conversations to create an account. Just select *register new account* on server within the create account dialog.

#### How do I update/add external libraries?
If the library you want to update is in Maven Central or JCenter (or has its own
Maven repo), add it or update its version in `build.gradle`. If the library is
in the `libs/` directory, you can update it using a subtree merge by doing the
following (using `minidns` as an example):
git remote add minidns https://github.com/rtreffer/minidns.git
git fetch minidns
git merge -s subtree minidns master
To add a new dependency to the `libs/` directory (replacing "name", "branch" and
"url" as necessary):
git remote add name url
git merge -s ours --no-commit name/branch
git read-tree --prefix=libs/name -u name/branch
git commit -m "Subtree merged in name"
