    $ cd transmission-2.92

    $ cmake ..
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

### Building Transmission from the nightly builds

Download a tarball from https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux/ and follow the steps from the previous section.

If you're new to building programs from source code, this is typically easier than building from Git.
