 Before you can compile any plugin, you will need a copy of the SuperCollider *source code* (NOT the app itself). The source code version should match your SuperCollider app version. Slight differences will probably be tolerated, but if they're too far apart you will get an "API version mismatch" error when you boot the server.

+Please note that on macOS Supernova is more picky about location of UGens (as of January 2018). They need to be placed in a subdirectory called `plugins` inside the above mentioned Extensions folder. This pertains only to the UGen file (`.scx`), not the `.sc` class file.

 If you're not using sclang, the installation method varies. Ask the developer(s) of the client if you're not sure how.
 
 ## Development workflow
+In order to start developing a new UGen, make a copy of one of the example's directory. Change the `.cpp` filename, as well as the name and contents of the corresponding `.sc` file, and update the beginning of `CMakeLists.txt` with your new `.cpp` filename. Then you're ready to work on the code.
 
 If you change your source file(s) or `CMakeLists.txt`, simply use `make` to recompile the shared library. You will need to restart scsynth/supernova for your changes to take effect.
