Now, download Shairport Sync from GitHub:
```
```
This will execute the application and it will return its version information and terminate, for example:
```
-3.2-libdaemon-OpenSSL-Avahi-sndio-sysconfdir:/etc
+3.3.6-libdaemon-OpenSSL-Avahi-sndio-sysconfdir:/etc
```
There is no make install yet -- you're on your own.
