+1. Ensure you have your GPG key set up and your [OSS Sonatype](https://oss.sonatype.org/) credentials handy.
+2. Add the follow entries to either your local `gradle.properties` (don't forget to revert) or your global `~/.gradle/gradle.properties`:
+
+```
+# You get these from https://oss.sonatype.org/#profile;User%20Token
+mavenCentralRepositoryUsername=<username>
+mavenCentralRepositoryPassword=<password>
+
+# You can get the keyId (in GPG 1.4 format) by running `gpg1 --list-keys`.
+signing.secretKeyRingFile=</path/to/secring.gpg>
+signing.keyId=<key_id>
+signing.password=<key_password>
+```
+
+3. Change the `VERSION_NAME` in `gradle.properties` to a non-SNAPSHOT release.
