 To build the C++17 NanoLog Runtime library, go in the [runtime directory](./runtime/) and invoke ```make```. This will produce ```./libNanoLog.a``` to against link your application and a ```./decompressor``` application that can be used to re-inflate the binary logs.
 
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/PlatformLab/NanoLog.git
+cd Nanolog
+git submodule update --init
+cd runtime
+make -j6
+make DESTDIR=/usr/local/ install 
+```
+
 When you compile your application, be sure to include the NanoLog header directory ([``-I ./runtime``](./runtime/)), and link against NanoLog, pthreads, and POSIX AIO (``-L ./runtime/ -lNanoLog -lrt -pthread``). Sample g++ invocations can be found in the [sample GNUmakefile](./sample/GNUmakefile).
 
 After you compile and run the application, the log file generated can then be passed to the ```./decompressor``` application to generate the full human-readable log file (instructions below).
