+## Contributing to the Repository
+
+The contents of this repository are sourced primarily from the Khronos Vulkan
+API specification [repository](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs).
+Please visit that repository for information on contributing.
+
+## Repository Content
+
+This repository contains the Vulkan header files and the Vulkan API definition
+(registry) with its related files. This repository does not create libraries
+or executables.
+
+However, this repository contains CMake build configuration files to "install"
+the files from this repository to a specific install directory. For example,
+you can install the files to a system directory such as `/usr/local` on Linux.
+
+If you are building other Vulkan-related repositories such as
+[Vulkan-Loader](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader),
+you need to build the install target of this repository and provide the
+resulting install directory to those repositories.
+
+### Installed Files
+
+The `install` target installs the following files under the directory
+indicated by *install_dir*:
+
+- *install_dir*`/include/vulkan` : The header files found in the
+ `include/vulkan` directory of this repository
+- *install_dir*`/share/vulkan/registry` : The registry files found in the
+  `registry` directory of this repository
+
+The `uninstall` target can be used to remove the above files from the install
+directory.
+
+## Repository Set-Up
+
+### Download the Repository
+
+To create your local git repository:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers.git
+
+### Repository Dependencies
+
+This repository does not depend on any other repositories.
+
+### Build and Install Directories
+
+A common convention is to place the build directory in the top directory of
+the repository with a name of `build` and place the install directory as a
+child of the build directory with the name `install`. The remainder of these
+instructions follow this convention, although you can use any name for these
+directories and place them in any location.
+
+## Building On Windows
+
+### Windows Development Environment Requirements
+
+- Windows
+  - Any Personal Computer version supported by Microsoft
+- Microsoft [Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/)
+  - Versions
+    - [2013 (update 4)](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/)
+    - [2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/)
+    - [2017](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/downloads/)
+  - The Community Edition of each of the above versions is sufficient, as
+    well as any more capable edition.
+- [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/download/) (Version 2.8.11 or better)
+  - Use the installer option to add CMake to the system PATH
+- Git Client Support
+  - [Git for Windows](http://git-scm.com/download/win) is a popular solution
+    for Windows
+  - Some IDEs (e.g., [Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/),
+    [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/)) have integrated
+    Git client support
+
+### Windows Build - Microsoft Visual Studio
+
+The general approach is to run CMake to generate the Visual Studio project
+files. Then either run CMake with the `--build` option to build from the
+command line or use the Visual Studio IDE to open the generated solution and
+work with the solution interactively.
+
+#### Windows Quick Start
+
+    cd Vulkan-Headers
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake ..
+    cmake --build . --target install
+
+See below for the details.
+
+#### Use `CMake` to Create the Visual Studio Project Files
+
+Change your current directory to the top of the cloned repository directory,
+create a build directory and generate the Visual Studio project files:
+
+    cd Vulkan-Headers
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake ..
+
+> Note: The `..` parameter tells `cmake` the location of the top of the
+> repository. If you place your build directory someplace else, you'll need to
+> specify the location of the repository top differently.
+
+The CMake configuration files set the default install directory location to
+`$CMAKE_BINARY_DIR\install`, which is a child of your build directory. In this
+example, the install directory becomes the `Vulkan-Headers\build\install`
+directory.
+
+The project installs the header files to
+
+    Vulkan-Headers\build\install\include\vulkan
+
+and installs the registry files to
+
+    Vulkan-Headers\build\install\share\vulkan\registry
+
+You can change the install directory with the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` CMake
+variable.
+
+For example:
+
+    cd Vulkan-Headers
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/c/Users/dev/install ..  # MINGW64 shell
+
+As it starts generating the project files, `cmake` responds with something
+like:
+
+    -- Building for: Visual Studio 14 2015
+
+which is a 32-bit generator.
+
+Since this repository does not compile anything, there is no need to specify a
+specific generator such as "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64", so the default
+generator should suffice.
+
+The above steps create a Windows solution file named `Vulkan-Headers.sln` in
+the build directory.
+
+At this point, you can build the solution from the command line or open the
+generated solution with Visual Studio.
+
+#### Build the Solution From the Command Line
+
+While still in the build directory:
+
+    cmake --build . --target install
+
+to build the install target.
+
+Build the `uninstall` target to remove the files from the install directory.
+
+    cmake --build . --target uninstall
+
+#### Build the Solution With Visual Studio
+
+Launch Visual Studio and open the "Vulkan-Headers.sln" solution file in the
+build directory. Build the `INSTALL` target from the Visual Studio solution
+explorer.
+
+Build the `uninstall` target to remove the files from the install directory.
+
+> Note: Since there are only the `INSTALL` and `uninstall` projects in the
+> solution, building the solution from the command line may be more efficient
+> than starting Visual Studio for these simple operations.
+
+## Building On Linux
+
+### Linux Development Environment Requirements
+
+There are no specific Linux distribution or compiler version requirements for
+building this repository. The required tools are
+
+- cmake (Version 2.8.11 or better)
+- git
+
+### Linux Build
+
+The general approach is to run CMake to generate make files. Then either run
+CMake with the `--build` option or `make` to build from the command line.
+
+#### Linux Quick Start
+
+    cd Vulkan-Headers
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
+    make install
+
+See below for the details.
+
+#### Use CMake to Create the Make Files
+
+Change your current directory to the top of the cloned repository directory,
+create a build directory and generate the make files:
+
+    cd Vulkan-Headers
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
+
+> Note: The `..` parameter tells `cmake` the location of the top of the
+> repository. If you place your `build` directory someplace else, you'll need
+> to specify the location of the repository top differently.
+
+Set the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` variable to the directory to serve as the
+destination directory for the `install` target.
+
+The above `cmake` command sets the install directory to
+`$CMAKE_BINARY_DIR/install`, which is a child of your `build` directory. In
+this example, the install directory becomes the `Vulkan-Headers/build/install`
+directory.
+
+The make file install target installs the header files to
+
+    Vulkan-Headers/build/install/include/vulkan
+
+and installs the registry files to
+
+    Vulkan-Headers/build/install/share/vulkan/registry
+
+> Note: For Linux, the default value for `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` is
+> `/usr/local`, which would be used if you do not specify
+> `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`. In this case, you may need to use `sudo` to install
+> to system directories later when you run `make install`.
+
+Note that after generating the make files, running `make`:
+
+    make
+
+does nothing, since there are no libraries or executables to build.
+
+To install the header files:
+
+    make install
+
+or
+
+    cmake --build . --target install
+
+To uninstall the files from the install directories, you can execute:
+
+    make uninstall
+
+or
+
+    cmake --build . --target uninstall
+
+## Building on MacOS
+
+The instructions for building this repository on MacOS are the same as those
+for Linux.
