Hi!

Sorry for the somehwat involved build process, this is indeed a bit clunky
in the moment (and we're working on that). Bootstrapping manually is a bit
of a pain, have you tried scripts/bootstrap.sh? Alternatively I can
put together an inofficial distribution tarball that should make things
easier, as a short term solution.
