+## Docker Build
+
+VCA can also be used via a Docker container that is build with the `Dockerfile` found in the root directory.
+
+Simply execute the command `docker build --tag vca .` to build the container.
+
+Note that the videos that should be analysed already need to be inside the `videos` directory, since they will be copied into the container.
+
+Afterwards, enter the Docker container in an interactive session via `docker run --rm -it vca`.
+The VCA binary and the videos that are to be analysed are found in the directory that is opened with the before mentioned command.
