In the docs there is a minor mistake for the desktop command. It should say: './gradlew :vtm-desktop:run'
when I then run this I get:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't load shared library 'libjglfw.so' for target: Linux, 32-bit

hmm it seems jglfw does not contain 32bit libs for linux. checkout jglfw and build it locally for now. a mvn clean install might suffice - or kindly ask the gdx guys :)
BTW: android is ... wow!
