 `oras` supports the [oci.artifact.manifest][oci-artifact-manifest-spec], enabling, persistence, discovery and retrieval of artifacts and artifact references.
 
-## Run Distribution with OCI Artifact Manifest Support
+This document covers:
+
+- [Building the Experimental Branch](#building-the-experimental-branch)
+- [Runing Distribution with OCI Artifact Manifest Support](#running-distribution-with-oci-artifact-manifest-support)
+- [Pushing Artifact References](#pushing-artifact-references)

+## Building the Experimental Branch
+
+- Build the `oci-artifact.manifest` experimental branch:
+  ```bash
+  git clone https://github.com/deislabs/oras.git
+  cd oras
+  git checkout prototype-2
+  make build
+  ```
+- Copy `oras` to a central location for easy reference
+  ```bash
+  # linux, including wsl:
+  sudo cp ./bin/linux/amd64/oras /usr/local/bin/oras
+  ```
+- Verify the version, noting the `+unreleased` version:
+  ```bash
+  oras version
+
+  Version:        0.11.1+unreleased
+  Go version:     go1.16.2
+  Git commit:     6977a420ff804c49a401950502f5d98a9ed62812
+  Git tree state: clean
+  ```
+- Verify the additional `discover` command, confirming the experimental branch
+  ```bash
+  oras --help
+  Usage:
+    oras [command]
+
+  Available Commands:
+    discover    discover artifacts from remote registry
+    help        Help about any command
+    login       Log in to a remote registry
+    logout      Log out from a remote registry
+    pull        Pull files from remote registry
+    push        Push files to remote registry
+    version     Show the oras version information
+  ```
+
+See the [developers guide](../BUILDING.md) for more details on building `oras`

 > Note: this is a temporary location as oci.artifact.manifest is being developed under the [Notary v2][notary-v2-project] project.

 `oras push` will utilize the [oci.artifact.manifest][oci-artifact-manifest] when `--artifact-type` is specified. The OPTIONAL `--artifact-reference` accepts both tags and digests. Tag references are converted to digests when persisted.
