Is there a reason to install 4.3? Otherwise go to
https://docs.plone.org/develop/coredev/docs/intro.html to set up 5.1.x

The document tells you to clone branch 4.2. But that branch has not been touched in a long while. If you really want Plone 4 still, try the 4.3 branch (git checkout 4.3 should do it).

But indeed: unless you have a good reason, starting with 5.1 would be better.
