Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry I didn’t see the post on the same subject.

[Building gramps 6.0 from source under Mint](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/building-gramps-6-0-from-source-under-mint/8096)

I wonder why the old INSTALL file is still in the main branch. Is it an oversight? Is it temporary?

If you like, I can write a completed version based on what you told me. I think it could be a good first contribution.
