 Building CARLA
 --------------
 
-Use `git clone` or download the project from this page. Note that the master branch contains the most recent release of CARLA with the latest fixes and features.
+Clone this repository locally from GitHub:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla.git .
+```
+
+Also, clone the [CARLA fork of the Unreal Engine](https://github.com/CarlaUnreal/UnrealEngine) into an appropriate location:
 
-Then follow the instruction at [How to build on Linux][buildlinuxlink] or [How to build on Windows][buildwindowslink].  
-The Linux build needs for an UE patch to solve some visualization issues regarding Vulkan. Those already working with a Linux build should install the patch and make the UE build again using the following commands.  
 ```sh
-# Download and install the UE patch
-cd ~/UnrealEngine_4.24
-wget https://carla-releases.s3.eu-west-3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com/Linux/UE_Patch/430667-13636743-patch.txt ~/430667-13636743-patch.txt
-patch --strip=4 < ~/430667-13636743-patch.txt
-# Build UE
-./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh && make
+git clone --depth 1 -b carla https://github.com/CarlaUnreal/UnrealEngine.git .
 ```
 
-Unfortunately we don't have official instructions to build on Mac yet, please check the progress at [issue #150][issue150].
+Once you have cloned the repositories, follow the instructions for [building in Linux][buildlinuxlink] or [building in Windows][buildwindowslink].
