 ## About Building from Source
 
-We only allow building unmodified (original) source code for public use. `master` is considered **unstable** and we will not provide technical support if such a build doesn't work, so always build from a tag. You can checkout a tag with `git checkout tags/TAGNAME`, where `TAGNAME` is the tag, for example `v1.20`.

You can check out a tag with `git checkout tags/TAGNAME`, where `TAGNAME` is the tag, for example `v1.20`.
 
 ## Supported Operating Systems
 
-The code itself supports (latest stable) Linux and Windows. In terms of actual build support, for now we usually only distribute windows binaries and sometimes linux. For any other distro or OS, you just have to find the same libraries listed in the Linux Build [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) further down the page, and it should build fine. We don't currently support any big-endian architectures.

 1. Make sure you have all [prerequisites](#prerequisites) installed
-2. Clone the repository in a location of your choice with `git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server`. 
-3. Ensure that all submodules are initialized by running `git submodule update --init --recursive`. Then change into the cloned directory by running `cd BeamMP-Server`.
-4. Checkout the branch of the release you want to compile (`master` is often unstable), for example `git checkout tags/v2.3.3` for version 2.3.3. You can find the latest version [here](https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server/tags).

 5. Run `cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release` (with `.`)
-6. Run `make`
-7. You will now have a `BeamMP-Server` file in your directory, which is executable with `./BeamMP-Server` (`.\BeamMP-Server.exe` for windows). Follow the (windows or linux, doesnt matter) instructions on the [wiki](https://wiki.beammp.com/en/home/Server_Mod) for further setup after installation (which we just did), such as port-forwarding and getting a key to actually run the server.
+6. Run `make -j 4` (Set `-j {cores in your CPU}`. This param use for quickly compile.)

 *tip: to run the server in the background, simply (in bash, zsh, etc) run:* `nohup ./BeamMP-Server &`*.*
