See the section, *Warning about broken third-party builds* on [Where to get HandBrake](../get-handbrake/where-to-get-handbrake.html) for more information. ## Installing dependencies Dependency installation instructions are available for the following distributions. - [FreeBSD](install-dependencies-freebsd.html) - [NetBSD](install-dependencies-netbsd.html) ## Building HandBrake Clone the HandBrake repository. git clone https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake.git && cd HandBrake List available tags in the HandBrake 1.5.x release series, and check out the most recent. git tag --list | grep ^1\.5\. git checkout refs/tags/$(git tag -l | grep -E '^1\.5\.[0-9]+$' | tail -n 1) Build HandBrake. To enable experimental support for Intel Quick Sync Video, append `--enable-qsv`. To build the command line interface only, disable the graphical interface by appending `--disable-gtk`. ./configure --launch-jobs=$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) --launch When complete, you will find `HandBrakeCLI` in the `build` directory. If the graphical interface is enabled, you will also find `ghb` in the `build/gtk/src` directory. Install HandBrake (optional). When installing the graphical interface, icon and desktop files for the Applications menu will be also installed. sudo gmake --directory=build install To start over, simply remove the `build` directory. rm -rf build
