+Installation
+============
+
+Required Dependencies
+---------------------
+
+The Inkscape core depends on several other libraries that you will need
+install, if they are not already present on your system. The most
+typical libraries you may need to install are: 
+[Boehm-GC](http://www.hboehm.info/gc/), 
+[libsigc++](https://github.com/libsigcplusplus/libsigcplusplus), 
+[gtkmm](https://www.gtkmm.org/).
+
+Make sure you got the submodules code when fetching the code 
+(either by using `--recurse-submodules` on the git clone command, as recommended on the [Getting started](https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/#fetching-the-source-code) page, or by running `git submodule init && git submodule update`)
+
+Please see [the wiki page on compiling Inkscape](http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape) for the
+most current dependencies, including links to the source tarballs. 
+For common linux-distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora) you can use 
+[a bash-script](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_dependencies.sh?inline=false) 
+for getting required libraries.
+
+Basic Installation
+------------------
+
+For Linux based Free Desktops, Inkscape version 0.92 and newer can be built using CMake:
+
+```sh
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+make install
+```
+
+See `CONTRIBUTING.md` for more developer details and the [wiki](https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_Inkscape).
+
+For non-linux platforms, please see the Inkscape wiki pages here:
+
+For building on ChromeOS, please click [here](
+https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_Inkscape_on_Chrome_OS)
+
+For building on Windows, please click [here](
+https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_with_MSYS2)
+
+For building on Mac, please click [here](
+https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=CompilingMacOsX)
+
+
+Running Without Installing
+--------------------------
+
+For developers and others who want to run Inkscape without installing it please
+see the ***Building*** section in the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file.
+
+Extensions
+----------
+
+All Inkscape extensions have been moved into their own repository. They
+can be installed from there and should be packaged into builds directly.
+Report all bugs and ideas to that sub project.
+
+[Inkscape Extensions](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/)
+
+They are available as a sub-module which can be updated independently:
+
+```sh
+git submodule update --remote
+```
+
+This will update the module to the latest version and you will see the
+extensions directory is now changes in the git status. So be mindful of that.
+
+Build Options
+-------------
+
+A number of configuration settings can be overridden through CMake. To
+see a list of the options available for Inkscape, run:
+
+```sh
+cmake -L
+```
+or, for more advanced cmake settings:
+
+```sh
+cmake --help
+```
+
+For example, to build Inkscape with only SVG 1 support, and no SVG 2, do:
+
+```sh
+cmake .. -DWITH_SVG2=OFF
+```
+
+Or, to build Inkscape with debugging symbols, do:
+
+```sh
+cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
+```
