 ##Building AsterixDB
 
 To build AsterixDB from source, you should have a platform with the following:
+
 * A Unix-ish environment (Linux, OS X, will all do).
 * git
 * Maven 3.1.1 or newer.
-* Java 7 or newer.
+* Java 8 or newer.
 
 Additionally to run all the integration tests you should be running `sshd` locally, and have passwordless ssh logins enabled for the account which is running the tests.
 
+Instructions for building the master:
+
+* Checkout Hyracks master:
+
+        $git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-asterixdb-hyracks.git
+
+* Checkout AsterixDB master:
+
+        $git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-asterixdb.git
+
+* Build and install Hyracks master to maven local repo:
+
+        $cd hyracks
+        $mvn clean install -DskipTests
+
+* Build AsterixDB master:
+
+        $cd ../asterixdb
+        $mvn clean package -DskipTests
+
+
+##Running AsterixDB (on your machine from your build)
+Here are steps to get AsterixDB running on your machine:
+
+* Create a directory as the home for AsterixDB installer program, i.e., managix:
+
+        $mkdir ~/managix
+
+* Copy AsterixDB binary artifact into the installer directory and unzip it:
+
+        $cp asterix-installer/target/asterix-installer-*-binary-assembly.zip ~/managix/
+        $cd ~/managix
+        $unzip asterix-installer-*-binary-assembly.zip
+
+* Configure the installer:
+
+        $bin/managix configure
+
+* Validate if the computer environment is suitable:
+
+        $bin/managix validate
+
+* Create and start your instance:
+
+        $bin/managix create -n test -c clusters/local/local.xml
+
+* Good to go and run queries in your browser at:
+
+        http://localhost:19001
+
+* Read more documentations to learn the data model, query language, and how to create a cluster instance:
