+
+### Checkout the source code
+```bash
+   cd ~ 
+   git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git retroshare
+```
+
+### Checkout the submodules
+```bash
+   cd retroshare
+   git submodule update --init --remote libbitdht/ libretroshare/ openpgpsdk/ retroshare-webui/ 
+   git submodule update --init --remote supportlibs/librnp supportlibs/restbed supportlibs/rapidjson
+```
+
+### Compile
+```bash
+   qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=rs_jsonapi CONFIG+=rs_webui
+   make
+```
+
+### Install
+```bash
+   sudo make install
+```
+
+The executable produced will be:  
+```bash
+ - /usr/bin/RetroShare  
+```
+
+### For packagers
+
+Packagers can use PREFIX and LIB\_DIR to customize the installation paths:
+```bash
+   qmake PREFIX=/usr LIB_DIR=/usr/lib64 "CONFIG-=debug" "CONFIG+=release"
+   make
+   make INSTALL_ROOT=${PKGDIR} install
+```
+ 
+ 
+### libsqlcipher
+If libsqlcipher is not available as a package
+
+You need to place sqlcipher so that the hierarchy is:
+
+      retroshare
+          |
+          +--- trunk
+          |
+          +--- lib
+                |
+                +---- sqlcipher
+```bash
+	mkdir lib
+	cd lib
+	git clone git://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git
+	cd sqlcipher
+	./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
+	make
+	cd ..
+``` 
+
+### Build options
+
+* Mandatory
+  * release or debug:			normally you would like to use the release option
+* Extra features (optional)
+  * rs_autologin:				enable autologin
+  * retroshare_plugins:			build plugins
+  * rs_webui:					enable remoting features
+  * rs_jsonapi:					enable json api interface
+  * gxsthewire					enable Wire service
+  * wikipoos 					enable Wiki service
+  * rs_use_native_dialogs		enable native dialogs
+  * rs_deep_channels_index		build with deep channel indexing support
+  * rs_deep_files_index			build with deep file indexing support
+  * "CONFIG+=..."				enable other extra compile time features, you can find the almost complete list in file *<sourcefolder>\retroshare.pri*
+
+Example:
+
+```batch
+qmake CONFIG-=debug CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=rs_use_native_dialog CONFIG+=rs_gui_cmark
+qmake CONFIG+=rs_jsonapi CONFIG+=rs_webui CONFIG+=rs_autologin
+qmake CONFIG+=rs_deep_channels_index CONFIG += gxsthewire CONFIG += wikipoos
+```
