Building wire-server locally

Context:

when trying to build with make or cabal build all I'm getting:
Error: cabal: Failed to build wire-message-proto-lens-0.1.0 (which is required by test:wire-api-tests from wire-api-0.1.0, test:wire-api-golden-tests from wire-api-0.1.0 and others).

Did install nix package manager direnv and add nix cache, had to enter nix folder inside wire-server.

How did you install wire-server?

manually compiling

How many servers are involved?

Im following this one, https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server/blob/develop/docs/src/developer/developer/building.md what do you mean with clone the submodules?

[akshaymankar]

When you clone wire-server, you need to clone it with --recursive. If it is already cloned, run this to get all the git submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive
