require C libraries, that can be harder to get installed. This is plenty to
get started using it, although it does not include the assistant or webapp.
Be warned that this involves building a lot of Haskell libraries from
source, and so it has a lot of moving parts, and it's not uncommon for it
to be broken from time to time.
Inside the source tree, run:

## full build with cabal
To build with all features enabled, including the assistant and webapp,
you will need to install several C libraries and their headers,
including libgnutls, libgsasl, libxml2, and zlib. How to do that for
your OS is beyond the scope of this page. Once the C libraries are
installed:
