+Important:
+----------
+
+First, make sure to clone the submodules too. This is important. Often errors include missing liblove.so and
+"Missing LOVE. Make sure to initialize the submodule correctly!" error when building. A proper way to clone this
+repository is:
+
+```
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/love2d/love-android
+```
+
+Add `-b <branch name>` and `--depth 1` if needed.
+
+If you already cloned the repository but forgot to initialize the submodules, execute:
+
+```
+git submodule sync --recursive
+git submodule update --init --force --recursive
+```
+
+In the repository directory. For the last command, add `--depth 1` if needed.
