Building is going to be a bit convoluted for each platform, each having their own unique specifications, but the best reference for building should be looking at how GitHub actions does it.
You need:
# Applies our patches in ./patches
cargo install patch-crate
cargo patch-crate --force && cargo fetch --locked
# Building / testing
cargo run --bin plumeimpactorExtra requirements are shown below for building if you don't have these already, and trust me, it is convoluted.

Footnotes
-
On Linux, usbmuxd must be installed on your system. Don't worry though, it comes with most popular distributions by default already! However, due to some distributions udev rules
usbmuxdmay stop running after no devices are connected causing Impactor to not detect the device after plugging it in. You can mitigate this by plugging your phone first then restarting the app. ↩ -
On Windows, iTunes must be downloaded so Impactor is able to use the drivers for interacting with Apple devices. ↩
