 RustFrame's capabilities from basic data handling to advanced machine learning
 workflows. Each chapter contains runnable snippets so you can follow along.
 
+To build this guide locally run `./build.sh` in the `docs/` directory. The
+chapters are arranged sequentially:
+
 1. [Data manipulation](./data-manipulation.md) for loading and transforming data.
 2. [Compute features](./compute.md) for statistics and analytics.
 3. [Machine learning](./machine-learning.md) for predictive models.
 4. [Utilities](./utilities.md) for supporting helpers and upcoming modules.
