  3. Download the latest version of Facette from http://facette.io/download/.

  4. Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:

    $ tar -xvf facette-<version>.tar.gz
    

    Replace <version> with the version number of the Facette release you downloaded.

  5. Change into the extracted Facette directory:

    $ cd facette-<version>
    
  6. Run the build.sh script to build Facette from source:

    $ doas sh build.sh
