Please check here for stable or here for an alpha release.
NuGet >= 4.4.0
msbuild
git
Clone the entire repository with submodules using
git clone https://github.com/ppy/osu --recursive
Then restore NuGet packages from the repository
nuget restore
Simply run msbuild
where osu.sln
is located, this will create all binaries in osu/osu.Desktop/bin/Debug
.
If you want additional performance you can change build type to Release with
msbuild -p:Configuration=Release
Additionally, mono provides an AOT utility which attempts to precompile binaries. You can utilize that by running
mono --aot ./osu\!.exe
You may run into trouble with NuGet versioning, as the one in packaging system is almost always out of date. Simply run
nuget
sudo nuget update -self
Warning NuGet creates few config files when it's run for the first time. Do not run NuGet as root on the first run or you might run into very peculiar issues.
