To build Andromeda, make sure that Qt is installed on your system. You can download Qt from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads On Linux, you can also install it using package manager.

Also you need to install or build QBS. Source code can be found at http://gitorious.org/qt-labs. Instructions for building and using QBS are here http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qbs/

To clone Andromeda repository, open terminal and run following commands from the directory you want to use: $ git clone git@gitorious.org:andromeda/andromeda.git (OR '$ git clone git@github.com:ABBAPOH/andromeda.git') $ cd andromeda $ git submodule init $ git submodule update

After cloning, you can build Andromeda: $ cd .. (one dir up from sources) $ mkdir andromeda-build $ cd andromeda-build $ qbs install -f ../andromeda/andromeda.qbs release

QBS will create directory with the name of you default QBS profile and install Andromeda to the 'install_root' folder within that directory.
