 **This README is incomplete!**
 
 This repository contains the C++ source code for the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing ([NuPIC](http://numenta.org/nupic.html)). It will eventually contain all algorithms for NuPIC, but is currently in a transition period. For details on building NuPIC within the python environment, please see http://github.com/numenta/nupic.
+
+## Build and test NuPIC Core:
+
+Important notes:
+ * $REPOSITORY is the current location of the repository that you downloaded from GitHub.
+
+### Using command line
+
+#### Configure and generate build files:
+
+    mkdir -p $REPOSITORY/build/scripts
+    cd $REPOSITORY/build/scripts
+    cmake $REPOSITORY/src
+
+#### Build:
+
+    cd $REPOSITORY/build/scripts
+    make -j3
+
+> **Note**: -j3 option specify '3' as the maximum number of parallel jobs/threads that Make will use during the build in order to gain speed. However, you can increase this number depending your CPU.
+
+#### Run the C++ tests:
+
+    cd $REPOSITORY/build/release/bin
+    htmtest
+    testeverything
+
+### Using graphical interface
+
+#### Generate the IDE solution:
+
+ * Open CMake executable.
+ * Specify the source folder ($REPOSITORY/src).
+ * Specify the build system folder ($REPOSITORY/build/scripts), i.e. where IDE solution will be created.
+ * Click 'Generate'.
+ * Choose the IDE that interest you (remember that IDE choice is limited to your OS, i.e. Visual Studio is available only on CMake for Windows).
+
+#### Build:
+
+ * Open 'nupic.core.*proj' solution file generated on $REPOSITORY/build/scripts.
+ * Run 'ALL_BUILD' project from your IDE.
+
+#### Run the C++ tests:
+
+ * Run 'HtmTest' and 'TestEverything' projects from your IDE (check 'output' panel to see the results).
