 # Building from source
 
+* First:
+ * `cd /where/you/want/to/put/the/source`
+ * `git clone https://github.com/johnkerl/miller`
+ * `cd miller`
 * With `make`:
  * To build: `make`. This takes just a few seconds and produces the Miller executable, which is `./mlr` (or `.\mlr.exe` on Windows).
  * To run tests: `make check`.
