Once you have set up your Linux/Unix environment, you are ready to download QMK. We will do this by using Git to "clone" the QMK repository. Open a Terminal or MSYS2 MinGW window and leave it open for the remainder of this guide. Inside that window run these two commands:
- git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git
- cd qmk_firmware
+```shell
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git
+cd qmk_firmware
