Comment 22 for bug 1596648

Hello Bill,

You need to get a copy of the code using the bzr branch command. (you can find the right command on the second line of this [1] page).

You then need to install the build dependencies with: sudo apt-get build-dep pantheon-files

And then you use the instructions on line 25 in this [2] file to build Files
