 ### Add APT sources repositories
 
-Open `/etc/apt/sources.list`. For each deb line, add the same line with deb replaced with deb-src. For instance, here's how it should look like in Linux Mint 18:

+## Other systems
+
+### Get build dependencies
+Install the following dependencies using your system's package manager. For build-time dependencies, you may need the development headers (usually found in packages suffixed `-dev` or `-devel`). If a dependency is not available for your system, you can build and install it.
+* Build-time dependencies:

+
+Python has to be installed, along with some Python modules. Install the following modules by using your system's package manager, from PyPI by using `pip`, or by building and installing them:

+* `psutil`
+* `py-setproctitle` (`setproctitle` on PyPI)

+* `python-pam`
+* `python3-xapp` (not on PyPI)
+* `pytz`
+* `requests`
+* `tinycss2`
+* `xlrd`
+
+Now get the latest git code for everything. Run (not as root):
+
+```bash
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-control-center.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-desktop.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-menus.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-session.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-translations.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/cjs.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/muffin.git
+git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/nemo.git
+```
+
+### Compile and install the stack
+
+Build and install in the following order. See below for how to build and install.
+
+```
+cinnamon-translations
+cinnamon-desktop
+cinnamon-menus
+cinnamon-session
+cinnamon-settings-daemon
+cinnamon-screensaver
+cjs
+cinnamon-control-center
+muffin
+cinnamon
+nemo
+```
+
+To build and install a package:
+
+```bash
+cd *package-name*
+meson setup builddir
+meson compile -C builddir
+meson install -C builddir
+cd ..
+```
+
+The procedure for building and installing `cinnamon-translations` is different:
+
+```bash
+cd cinnamon-translations
+make
+sudo cp -r usr /
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Optional: Compiling from stable branch
+
+The instructions above compile the Cinnamon stack from their "master" branch, which isn't always stable. To compile from the stable branch, instead of the usual building procedure, you need to do the following (for all packages except `cinnamon-translations`):
+
+```bash
+cd *package-name*
+git checkout stable
+meson setup builddir
+meson compile -C builddir
+meson install -C builddir
+cd ..
+```
+
+For `cinnamon-translations`:
+
+```bash
+cd cinnamon-translations
+git checkout stable
+make
+sudo cp -r usr /
+cd ..
+```
