Obtaining Proton
---
The most current source for Proton is here:
<https://TODO>
<https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton>
Which you can clone to your system with this command:
git clone TODO
git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton.git proton
If you clone the Proton git repository, the next step will be to
After cloning the Proton git repository, the next step will be to
obtain the various submodules that go into building Proton:
cd proton
git submodule init
git submodule update
#for linux:
git submodule update --init wine dxvk
#for macos:
git submodule update --init
If you wish to change any subcomponent, now is the time to do so.
For example, if you wish to use an alternate version of Wine, you would
now put that version in place in the wine/ directory in place of the
version that Proton is currently using.
For example, if you wish make changes to Wine, you would apply those
changes to the <tt>wine/</tt> directory.

**NOTE:** For now, dxvk requires build-time components that are too new for Debian
9. It's recommended to build the DLLs on Arch Linux, where dxvk is actively
being developed. This may be resolved in dxvk in the future, or may be worked
around by using a newer Debian release. See comments in build_proton.sh.
