+## Building/Running
+
+### Building
+
+To build a single module:
+```
+$> cd <imag-proj-dir>/imag-<module>
+$> cargo build
+```
+It may be tiresome to build all the modules by hand, but one can do something
+like this:
+```
+$> for dir in \
+>$(find ./ -maxdepth 1 -path "./imag-*" -name "imag-*" -type d)
+>do
+>pushd $dir; cargo build; popd
+>done
+```
+
+### Running
+
+To run imag, simply call `./bin/imag`. This script has a function to search for
+modules, which utilizes an environment variable called `IMAG_IS_THE_SHIT`.
+To run imag with all components:
+```
+$> IMAG_IS_THE_SHIT=$(pwd) ./bin/imag
+```
+assuming you are currently in the imag source directory. Otherwise it is
+```
+$>IMAG_IS_THE_SHIT=$IMAG_SRC $IMAG_SRC/bin/imag
+```
+if $IMAG_SOURCE points to the imag source directory.
+
+To test, simply add `--help` to one of the above commands. Imag should now be
+able to find the available commands.
