git clone https://github.com/monome/norns.git
cd norns
git submodule update --init --recursive
./waf configure --release
./waf build --release
(NB: the --release flag creates builds specifically for armv8/cortex-a53 instruction set, meaning optimized for rpi3 and compatible with rpi4. It also enables aggressive compiler optimizations. Omit flag if you need debug symbols or to build for a different architecture. It does need to supplied to both configuration and build steps.)
