If using git to download repo of entire code history, type:

git clone https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore.git
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore.git
cd MuseScore

(The `--recurse-submodules` ensures that the [`muse_framework`](https://github.com/musescore/muse_framework) git submodule is checked out into the `muse/` subdirectory.)

Otherwise, you can just download the latest source release tarball from the [Releases page](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases), and then from your download directory type:

tar xzf MuseScore-x.x.x.tar.gz
