+## Compiling and installing
+
+This software uses CMake to build its makefiles, so if you're familiar with that, you should feel somewhat at home. Do this:
+
+```
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+```
+
+This should produce an executable of the emulator, which you can install wherever you wish.
+
+## Testing
+
+If you're feeling a bit nosy, you can run unit tests by doing the following:
+
+```
+cd tests/build
+cmake ..
+make; ./emp-test
+```
+
+This will execute the testing build of the software, which is handled through [Criterion](https://github.com/Snaipe/Criterion). Note you must have already installed Criterion for this to work.
