Follow build instructions for your platform below.

[NOTE]
====
The full repository is very large, and some ISPs appear to have trouble
providing a robust connection to github while the clone is being made.
If you notice problems such as submodules downloading at reported rates in
the tens of kB/s, or fatal timeout errors occurring, these may be due to
network routing issues to github within your ISP's internal network, rather
than anything wrong in your own networking setup.
It can be very difficult to get ISPs to acknowledge such problems exist much
less to fix them. In this case, consider trying the clone while running a
VPN service.
