[Users] Installing from GIT

[Jakub T. Jankiewicz]

By default git show only base branch (master or main if someone changed the
name)

Try

git branch -a

that will show all remote branches then use git checkout to create local
branch for remote.

To get list of dependencies you can run ./configure it it will show error if
something is missing.

To install you can use standard:

./configure && make && make install

but for git to get configure script you need to run autogen.sh you can use
configure script to setup the installation.
