Synit build process, but you can find details on the [Preserves](https://preserves.gitlab.io/)
and [Syndicate](https://syndicate-lang.org/) homepages, respectively.
For the Smalltalk-based phone-management and UI part of the system, you will need a number of
other tools. See the
[README](https://git.syndicate-lang.org/tonyg/squeak-phone/src/branch/main/README.md) for the
`squeak-phone` repository:
git clone https://git.syndicate-lang.org/tonyg/squeak-phone

## Install the Smalltalk parts of the system (optional)
If you want to experiment with the Smalltalk-based modem support and UI, follow the
instructions in the [squeak-phone
README](https://git.syndicate-lang.org/tonyg/squeak-phone/src/branch/main/README.md) now.
## Reboot and hope
With luck, you'll see the Smalltalk user interface start up. From here, you can operate the
system normally, following the information in [the following chapter](./operation/index.md).
