+## Building
+
+Building the source distributions on another OS requires:
+- the `./build-requirements.txt` Python dependencies
+- `asio` headers installed
+- `openssl` & `crypto` libraries & headers installed
+
+Optionally the C++ dependencies can be installed with [`conan`](https://github.com/conan-io/conan):
+```shell script
+conan install --build=openssl --install-folder conan_build .
