+# Quick!
+
+To build Umbraco, fire PowerShell and move to Umbraco's repository root (the directory that contains `src`, `build`, `README.md`...). There, trigger the build with the following command:
+
+    build\build.ps1
+    
+By default, this builds the current version. It is possible to specify a different version as a parameter to the build script: 
+
+    build\build.ps1 7.6.44
+
+Valid version strings are defined in the `Set-UmbracoVersion` documentation below.

 Building Umbraco requires a clean `web.config` file in the `Umbraco.Web.UI` project. If a `web.config` file already exists, the `pre-build` task (see below) will save it as `web.config.temp-build` and replace it with a clean copy of `web.Template.config`. The original file is replaced once it is safe to do so, by the `pre-packages` task.

+Some log files, such as MsBuild logs, are produced in `build.tmp` too. The `build` directory should remain clean during a build.
