 ## Running the example
 
+If using Docker, start by running
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/dmlc/tvm.git
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/tvm:/mnt tvmai/ci-cpu /bin/bash
+```
+then, in the container
+```
+cd /mnt
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DUSE_LLVM=ON -DUSE_SGX=/opt/sgxsdk -DRUST_SGX_SDK=/opt/rust-sgx-sdk
+make -j4
+cd ../apps/sgx
