 ## Building and Testing
 
-TODO: Write step-by-step instructions to build and test the bindings.
+1. Clone the `pyslang` repository (https://github.com/MikePopoloski/pyslang)
+2. Clone the `slang` submodule:
+
+```bash
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+3. Optionally, create a virtual environment and activate it.
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+4. Install `pyslang` as a Python package (including building the C++ `slang` library with bindings, from the submodule):
+
+```bash
+pip install .
+```
