Installing on Debian

As privileged (root) user

apt-get install libzip-dev libxml2-dev bison  libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

(probably overkill for just gcc)

apt-get install build-essential

Some prefer to keep local packages more isolated by using stow.
Makefile edits below reflect stow location

apt-get install stow

As regular user

# if you want to build a tagged release:
git clone https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im.git
cd sc-im/
# select for example tagged release v0.2.1
git checkout -b local-debian-v0.2.1 v0.2.1

# if you want latest commit at depgraph branch, just do:
git clone https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im
