 ### Compiling ImHex on Linux
 
-Dependency installation scripts are available for many common Linux distributions in the [/dist](dist) folder.
-After all the dependencies are installed, run the following commands to build ImHex:
+On Linux, ImHex is built through regular GCC (or optionally Clang).
 
+1. Clone the repo using `git clone https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex --recurse-submodules`
+2. Install the dependencies using one of the `dist/get_deps_*.sh` scripts. Choose the one that matches your distro.
+3. Build ImHex itself using the following commands:
 ```sh
