## Compilation environment

The system you're using should have at least 16GM RAM (more is better). With the latest addition of Webkit, running on a CPU with many cores/threads (eg. 16/32), 16GB might not be enough memory anymore. Using a VM for the compilation works well, but we recommend at least 150GB disk space for it (might not be enough for multiple parallel builds). An SSD is highly recommended
