On the README file there’s only Debian and Fedora instructions.
https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_vault/blob/master/installer/README.md
I’ve also found one post about cross compiling, but I’m not interested in cross compiling.
I want to build from the source on the same platform.
Try the Debian and post questions here when you hit a problem - maybe rename the topic to reflect that.
I use Arch Linux, and I never had issues when they release ready to be tested code. Granted, there is no AUR PKG package maintainer right now.
I haven’t touched coding in the past few weeks due to work, and social life. But the normal routine I hae done in the past is…
sudo pacman -S rustup
rustup default nightly
rustup update
git clone https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_vault
cd safe_vault
cargo build
That should get you started.
However, do note that there is no code that has been released in past few weeks. You probably want go with mock routing for now.
That seems quite impossible.

Ah. my bad.
Remove the rust and cargo. Just do rustup. Rustup is a better alternative since it deliver latest code than rust/cargo does.

It finished building. I’m not familiar with rust. Where is the executable? or build folder?
it will be in target/release||debug folder, depending on how you compiled. It defaults to debug and it looks like you used the default there so target/release/
Alright. So I ran it in the terminal and then nothing happened. Is something supposed to happen?
You would need to create a network if that is what you want to happen. Perhaps you want to run tests? that would be cargo test etc. As there is no network to attach to you would need to create one. It will be a bit of reading and playing with parameters to get it going. Is it something specific you are after or more curious to play around (which is cool)?
I want to play around with it a bit.
Because I came from ArkOS my first interest is to get it’s functions back that I regularly use(d), so I can replace it and after other stuff, which is in order:
That’s a great list 
I guess it is sort of covered under web sites, but I’m going to suggest adding website content management system (CMP) because http://safepress.io needs some love!
