1. Get the content of the repository: a) using git clone (remember to use the --recrusive and --recrusive-modules options) OR b) Download (and extract the archive)

From now, the folder to with the repository got clobed/extracted will be refered as the "project dir"

2. In the project dir enter the code sub-folder
3. ensure that the scripts are executable
4. run the prepare.sh script
5. After the script finishes (assuming that it wasn't interrupted due an error), return to the project dir and then enter the dist sub-folder
6. copy only the content of the dist folder, without copying the folder itself (else the dist won't start)

The distro should be ready to be run.
