Could you setup a quick build guide ? #1

Please and thanks

Since the current version is just for developers to test the Core, which means it's not a public release, I assume that a developer who wants to test it would be capable of building it. There are step-by-step build instructions for Travis (Ubuntu) in the .yml file, which should be of great help.

I'm planning on adding installation guide for Linux and Windows, and binaries for Windows when it becomes usable for regular users too.

Also, the thing is that besides the GUI, the Core itself is also in somewhat unusefriendly state. Currently it generates new User Id every time you run it, doesn't save/load friend list, etc. A regular users wouldn't want to re-add their friends every time they start the application and they would be surprised to find their User Id changed.
