<para>This section provides some notes on how to hack on Hydra. To
get the latest version of Hydra from GitHub:
<screen>
$ git clone git://github.com/NixOS/hydra.git
$ cd hydra
</screen>
</para>
<para>To build it and its dependencies:
<screen>
$ nix-build release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux
</screen>
</para>
<para>To build all dependencies and start a shell in which all
environment variables (such as <envar>PERL5LIB</envar>) are set up so
that those dependencies can be found:
<screen>
$ ./dev-shell
</screen>
To build Hydra, you should then do:
<screen>
[nix-shell]$ ./bootstrap
[nix-shell]$ configurePhase
[nix-shell]$ make

<screen>
$ ./src/script/hydra-server
