 Build Instructions
 ==================
+
+The install procedure is the same on all supported platforms.
+For Microsoft Windows, however, you will need an appropriate port of the linux
+tools (like MinGW or Cygwin).
+First, download the source code from [Source Forge][1].
+
+    wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/ucx/files/ucx-latest.tar.gz
+    tar -xzf ucx-latest.tar.gz
+    cd ucx-latest
+
+Then issue the `configure` and `make` commands.
+
+    ./configure && make
+
+To verify your installment you can issue `make check`. If everything is fine,
+you can install UCX with
+
+    make install
+    
+Note, that you might need administrative privileges for a system wide
+installation.
