+# How to contribute:
+
+If you want to contribute, or just build from source yourself, below are the inistructions to do that. If there is something unclear please type your feedback in **[this ticket](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/112)** and we can adress it.
+
+## Reference documentation:
+
+* [Building Firefox On Windows](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/windows_build.html).
+
+## Compiling:
+
+To compile on Windows, you need to:
+
+* Install Mozilla build setup tools: [MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe](https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe).
+* Install Microsoft visual studio community edition: [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022).
+* Within Visual Studio:
+** Desktop development with C++.
+** Windows 10 SDK (at least 10.0.19041.0).
+** C++ ATL for v143 build tools (x86 and x64).
+
+* Open start-shell terminal and basically do the following:
+```
+wget -q "https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py"
+python3 bootstrap.py --no-interactive --application-choice=browser
+```
+If you choose to, you can now build Firefox Nightly as follows:
+```
+cd mozilla-unified
+./mach build
+./mach package
+./mach run # or just run it..
+```
+Or you can just forget about that, and remove the firefox tree:
+```
+rm -rf bootstrap.py mozilla-unified
+```
+To build the current windows setup.exe, we do the following:
+```
+git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows.git
+cd windows
+./build.py all
+```
