+## Build Instructions
+
+Install dependencies
+```
+# sudo apt-get install -y git autoconf pkg_config libtool check
+```
+
+Clone repository to your local machine.
+```
+# git clone https://github.com/JakubGrajciar/libmemif.git
+```
+
+From root directory execute:
+For debug build:
+```
+# ./bootstrap
+# ./configure
+# make
+# make install
+```
+
+For release build:
+```
+# ./bootstrap
+# ./configure
+# make release
+# make install
+```
+Verify installation:
+```
+# ./.libs/icmpr-epoll
+```
+> Make sure to run the binary file from ./.libs. File ./icmp\_responder in libmemif root directory is script that links the library, so it only verifies successful build. Default install path is /usr/lib.
+Use _help_ command to display build information and commands:
+```
+ICMP_Responder:add_epoll_fd:204: fd 0 added to epoll
+MEMIF_DEBUG:src/main.c:memif_init:383: app name: ICMP_Responder
+ICMP_Responder:add_epoll_fd:204: fd 4 added to epoll
+LIBMEMIF EXAMPLE APP: ICMP_Responder (debug)
+==============================
+libmemif version: 1.0 (debug)
+memif version: 256
+commands:
+ help - prints this help
+ exit - exit app
+ conn <index> - create memif (slave-mode)
+ del <index> - delete memif
+ show - show connection details
+ ip-set <index> <ip-addr> - set interface ip address
+ rx-mode <index> <qid> <polling|interrupt> - set queue rx mode
+```
+#### Examples
+
+Once the library is build/installed, refer to [Examples](../examples/README.md) and [Getting started](GettingStarted.md) for additional information on basic use cases and API usage.
