Answer 1

You can follow the instructions for building Ubuntu Touch from source from this wiki page.

Building from source is quite an involved process, involving getting Android drivers and flashing a mobile device, which is why I'm not going to attempt to summarise it here. Just follow the link, it's a wiki so hopefully it will be kept up-to-date.

If you just want to try developing Ubuntu Touch apps on your desktop, you don't need to build Ubuntu Touch from source, you just need the Ubuntu Touch SDK.
