 # Building Suggestible ◇
+
+Building Suggestible is easy. Just start by making sure all dependencies are installed on your system, then start the build using the included makefile.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Rust and Cargo**: Ensure Rust and Cargo are installed. You can install them using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/).
+
+    ```sh
+    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+    ```
+
+2. **mdBook**: Install mdBook using Cargo. MdBook is used to generate Suggestible's documentation.
+
+    ```sh
+    cargo install mdbook
+    ```
+
+## Building Suggestible
+
+1. **Navigate to the Project Directory**: Open your terminal and change to the project directory.
+
+    ```sh
+    cd /path/to/suggestible
+    ```
+
+2. **Build Suggestible**: Use make to compile the project.
+
+    ```sh
+    make release
+    ```
+
+    This will create an optimized build in the `target/release` directory.
+
+## Using Suggestible
+
+1. **Run the Compiled Binary**:
+
+    To see if everything went well and Suggestible runs you can try running it through Cargo with:
+    ```sh
+    cargo run --release
+    ```
+    For further intructions on how to use Suggestible in your production setting refer to our [usage how-to](howto_basic.md)
+
+## Building the Documentation
+
+To build this documentation, simply call `make` with the `doc` target:
+
+    ```sh
+    make doc
+    ```
+
+This will generate the documentation in the `book` directory.
