+# What is JHBuild
+[JHBuild](https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/introduction.html.en) is the recommended way to build and run GNOME development code. It will download the code, configure and build it for you, in a way that does not interfere with or modify your existing system. JHBuild will also figure out which dependencies are required from your distribution, and it will build any development software that is needed.
+
