Building From Source
====================
-One of the first steps to joining a software project is to build the software.
-Check out the `GNOME Newcomers Tutorial`_ for how to build software for GNOME.
-It includes a guide for how to build Builder, as well as many other GNOME software projects.
+Learn out how to install :ref:`via-jhbuild` in our installation documentation.
-For the impatient, you can use ``jhbuild`` to simplify the build process.
-
-.. note::
-
- We do not recommend installing jhbuild using your Linux distributions package manager as
- it will be out of date.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-
- git clone git://git.gnome.org/jhbuild.git
- cd jhbuild
- ./autogen.sh --simple-install
- make
- make install
- jhbuild sysdeps --install gnome-builder
- jhbuild build gnome-builder
- jhbuild run gnome-builder
+Currently, JHBuild is how we recommend contributing to Builder.
+We do expect this to change very soon in that you'll be able to easily contribute to Builder from our
flatpak-version of Builder.
