Which parts of the INSTALL, HACKING, or README were unclear?

https://public-inbox.org/INSTALL
https://public-inbox.org/HACKING
https://public-inbox.org/README

I can try to clarify (sorry, not online much due to upcoming holidays)

It uses MakeMaker like most Perl modules, but haven't made a
tarball release, yet, so you can just:

	git clone https://public-inbox.org/ public-inbox

to grab the source
