+## Building from source
+
+#### Automatic installation using ./build.sh

+command chain:
+
+~~~ sh
+$ git clone --branch %VERSION% --recursive https://github.com/jaagr/lemonbuddy.git
+$ cd lemonbuddy
+$ ./build.sh
+~~~
+
+NOTE: **git-perl** is required for submodules to work in **Void Linux**

+
+#### It is of course recommended that you control the build process yourself.
+
+ ~~~ sh
+ $ git clone --branch %VERSION% --recursive https://github.com/jaagr/lemonbuddy.git
+ $ mkdir lemonbuddy/build
+ $ cd lemonbuddy/build
+ $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
+ # List and edit build variables
+ $ make edit_cache
+ $ sudo make install
