Instead of downloading each of these components on their own, a good way to start is to fetch the WebKit repository
and use its build system to fetch all the dependencies. Check the [instructions for building WebKit](https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WPE#BuildingWPEWebKitfromgit).
Instead of downloading each of these components on their own, the recommended
procedure is cloning Git repositories for WebKit and the [WebKit Container
SDK](https://github.com/Igalia/webkit-container-sdk). Follow the SDK
instructions to prepare the container and open a shell inside it; then
running `Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --wpe` in the WebKit source directory
will produce a developer build—all the [other development
tools](https://docs.webkit.org/Getting%20Started/ContributingCode.html) can
be run directly in the container as well.


If you find any problem or want to know more about optimizing WPE for your hardware or use cases, please [contact us](mailto:info@wpewebkit.org).
