+# Besu Native
+
+This repository contains scripts and tooling that is used to build and package the native libraries used by Hyperledger Besu.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Linux
+
+You'll need to be sure that gcc, make, autoconf, automake, and libtool are installed. If you are building on Ubuntu or Debian, the following command will install these dependencies for you:
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool
+```
+
+### OS X
+
+You'll need to be sure that XCode Command Line Tools, make, autoconf, automake, and libtool are installed. The easiest way to do this is to install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), and then run the following command. Note that installing Homebrew will automatically install the XCode command line tools.
+
+```
+brew install autoconf automake libtool
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+TBD
+
+## Building
+
+1. This repository builds native libraries from source that is included as git submodules. To be sure that you have cloned those submodules into the appropriate locations, run `git submodule update`
+2. The build steps are entirely contained within the `build.sh` script at the repository root. Simply run this script, and all of the native modules contained herin will be configured with the correct build options for Hyperledger Besu, and built.
