+# Neural Amp Modeler Plug-in
+
+## Building
+
+Commands are for bash/zsh and apply to Windows (Git Bash) or macOS (Terminal) builds.
+
+If you didn't already clone the repo with: 
+
+    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sdatkinson/NeuralAmpModelerPlugin
+
+Then you will need to grab the submodules:
+
+    git submodule init
+    git submodule update
+
+You will need to install the VST3 SDK for iPlugin2:
+
+    cd iPlug2/Dependencies/IPlug/VST3_SDK/ &&        \
+    curl -L https://www.steinberg.net/vst3sdk -O &&  \
+    unzip vst3sdk &&                                 \
+    mv VST_SDK/vst3sdk/* .
+
+Then build for your platform:
+
+    cd ../../../../NeuralAmpModeler/scripts/
+
+Run one of the makedist-xxx scripts. Windows users should open an 
+`x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS` command window before running
+`makedist-win.bat`
+
+_Note: the build scripts take two arguments, [demo|full] and [zip|installer].
+I have only tested the above instructions using `makedist-win.bat demo zip`._
