+## Using a Snapshot Build
+
+To obtain the latest development version of Psalm, a snapshot build can be
+downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/vimeo/psalm/archive/refs/heads/5.x.zip
+
+Snapshot builds typically include only the source code and exclude the `.git`
+directory. As a result, Psalm cannot automatically determine its version or
+revision when executing `composer install`, since this information is usually
+derived from the `git` repository metadata that Composer relies on.
+
+To successfully install Psalm from a snapshot build, it is necessary to
+manually specify the version using the `COMPOSER_ROOT_VERSION` environment
+variable. This allows Composer to proceed with the installation of Psalm.
+
+The command to do so is as follows:
+
+```bash
+COMPOSER_ROOT_VERSION=5.x-dev composer install
+```
