To run it you will need to install the right version of Unity editor and any .net dependencies. Then open the project and run within the editor like we do when developing. I think it can build a standalone version but I don't know how to get it to do that. Interkarma does the builds.
See my mod code for examples of how to change various aspects of DFU: https://github.com/ajrb/dfunity-mods

  1. Install Unity Editor
  2. Click Open and direct it to the folder you downloaded from github.
  3. File>Build&Run

As another step, you can use GitHub Desktop to pull down latest code just by pressing the sync button.

Please keep in mind that live code can be fairly raw. You might have extra-special bugs because something is part-way under development. This is different to the builds, which I try to ensure work fairly well before posting.

I made a video a while back on how to clone using GitHub Desktop and run the project. I'll link here as it might help yourself or others.
