Documentation on building from source

[micahcantor]

I can't find any documentation on how to build zola from source, which makes it difficult to start contributing. It would be great if there was a page to help with this either on the website or here on github.

For example, I tried building zola yesterday, but cargo build failed to compile a dependency, I assume this is because I either have a version of Rust that is too new or an outdated version of the dependency.

A page for building from source would help with an issue like this.

You actually ran into a bug in a dependency: Alexhuszagh/rust-lexical#65

In practice building should just be cargo build --release, there is https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/#from-source for some additional dependencies that you might need.

It should work just fine when the next branch is merged into master this weekend.

Thanks, I missed that section of the installation page. That's all I really needed.
