Hi @vishal, welcome!

Setting up a the Joplin dev environment is one of the basic skills that we expect from a successful GSoC candidate, and therefore we try to avoid walking students through step by step.  
That said, there is a [Build document](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/BUILD.md) that includes everything you should need to get set up. Of you run into any errors, please search the forum for a solution before posting asking for help

Good luck!

Really? The document on how to build Joplin is the 8th link in the GSoC Guide.

And in 3rd paragraph it says:
