+# Building a local installation of Liminal
+
+Start a venv in the liminal example folder
+```
+python3 -m venv env
+```
+
+And activate your virtual environment:
+```
+source env/bin/activate
+```
+clean up old versions
+```
+pip uninstall apache-liminal
+```
+make sure you have wheel install (should be OK)
+```
+pip install wheel
+```
+Set a version for the build:
+```
+export LIMINAL_BUILD_VERSION=0.0.1.MYVER
+```
+Build the liminal version in the base of the cloned liminal folder, go to where you cloned it:
+```
+cd <liminal_path>
+git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-liminal
+python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
+```
+
+make sure the distribution created is copied to the ./scripts folder
+```
+cp ./dist/apache_liminal-0.0.1.MYVER-py3-none-any.whl ./scripts
+```
+
+local install in target directory
+```
+cd example_folder
+pip install <liminal_path>/scripts/apache_liminal-0.0.1.MYVER-py3-none-any.whl
+liminal build
+liminal deploy --clean
+liminal start
+```
+
+How to remove a version and rebuild:
+```
+cd example_folder
+pip uninstall apache-liminal
+cd <liminal_path>
