Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:

You can install git for easily keeping your copy up to date.
If you dont want git, read below on how to get the source without git.
This is an example for installing git on Debian/Ubuntu:
$ apt-get install git-core
$ sudo apt-get install git-core

Download source (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times) using git:
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
$ cd minetest

Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available) using git:
$ cd games/
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git

l think you can clone faster if you add -b master --single-branch
and with $locate minetest_game you can see if you already cloned it before
if so, you can add --reference >path< path is told by locate
$ cd ..
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game

Download source, without using git:
$ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/master.tar.gz

Run it:

- Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
- If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
