 ## Building
 
-The only dependency is boost. In order to build the project, one can use cmake.
+There are two dependencies: docopt.cpp (for handling program options) and boost
+(for an optional type and string manipulations). The first dependency is a git
+submodule and can be obtained with:
+
+```
+git submodule update --init

 OSX will understand that (and if not, you'll have to update Xcode). The main
 sourcefile (`src/main.cpp`) can also be built with c++11 (this is tested on some
 commits on both Windows and linux).
