+if xmonad >=0.17 isn't available from your distro's package manager,
+the better option would be to use stack to build xmonad.
+
+install stack using your package manager or consider [stack's documentation][1].
+
+[1]:https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/
+
+you need to copy `example/stack.yml.example` to
+`~/.config/xmonad/stack.yml`. and to copy `example/build` script to
+`~/.config/xmonad/build`. these are needed for xmonad to use stack for
+rebuilding.
+
+```
+$ cp ~/.config/xmonad/example/stack.yml.example ~/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml
+$ cp ~/.config/xmonad/example/build ~/.config/xmonad/build
+```
+
+also you need to fetch bunlded submodules using git (or provide xmonad-git and
+xmonad-contrib-git using some other way).
+
+```
+$ git submodule init
+$ git submodule update
+```
