checkout the '1.6' branch (step 2). Please check the main project website at

Checkout that branch using 'git checkout 1.6' to build from the stable MSB
branch.
3. Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' in the msb root directory which will build
and install all the base (required) packages, including necessary dependencies
