-1. [Install core dependencies](../../INSTALL.md).
+Before building, follow these steps to install prerequisites:
+1. Install [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)
+1. Launch Xcode and install any updates
+1. Install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)
+1. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [CMake](https://cmake.org/), and [ccache](https://ccache.samba.org):
+ ```
+ brew install node cmake ccache
+ ```
+1. Install [xcpretty](https://github.com/supermarin/xcpretty) (optional, used for prettifying command line builds):
+ ```
+ [sudo] gem install xcpretty
+ ```
1. Install [jazzy](https://github.com/realm/jazzy) for generating API documentation:
-
```
[sudo] gem install jazzy
```
+### Building the SDK
+
+1. Clone the git repository:
+ ```
+ git clone https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native.git
+ cd mapbox-gl-native
+ ```
+ Note that this repository uses Git submodules. They'll be automatically checked out when you first run a `make` command,
+ but are not updated automatically. We recommended that you run `git submodule update` after pulling down new commits to
+ this repository.
1. Run `make iframework BUILDTYPE=Release`. The packaging script will produce a `build/ios/pkg/` folder containing:
- a `dynamic` folder containing a dynamically-linked fat framework with debug symbols for devices and the iOS Simulator
- a `documentation` folder with HTML API documentation
