+# Example: commands to build for Python
+This section gives an example on how to build and install the library from scratch (assuming you have all the dependencies). It builds the Go library and then builds and installs the Python wrapper.
+
+1. Clone the library
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/jwijenbergh/eduvpn-common
+```
+
+2. Go to the library directory
+```bash
+cd eduvpn-common
+```
+
+3. Build the go library
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+4. Build the python wrapper
+```bash
+make -C wrappers/python
+```
+
+5. Install the wheel using pip
+```bash
+pip install wrappers/python/dist/eduvpncommon-0.1.0-py3-none-linux_x86_64.whl
+```
+Note that the name of your wheel changes on the platform and version.
