 # Destiny
 > Core game world simulation engine for popular spaceship based MMO Eve Online.
+ 
+# How to build
+The project is build using CMake.
 
-## Building
+## Configuring
+Configuration is best managed using the presets included in the project. To see the list of available presets, run
+the following from the project root:
+
+`cmake --list-presets`
+
+To configure your project with a given preset, run the following from the project root:
+
+`cmake --preset [preset]`
 
-In order to build the library you need access to Perforce, as that is where some of our dependencies live. The build
-instructions then expect a `CCP_EVE_PERFORCE_BRANCH_PATH` environment variable that points at the location of the
-Perforce branch.
+This will build using the default generator as configured by the `CMAKE_GENERATOR` environment variable on the host
+machine. The generator can also be explicitly provided during configuration:
+
+`cmake -G [generator] --preset [preset]`
+
+For typical use cases, we recommend the `Ninja Multi-Config` generator.
+
+## Building
+After configuration is complete, run the following:
 
-Once that is set up, building can be done using the usual CMake work flow
+`cmake --build [BUILD_DIRECTORY]`
