+OS-specific build instructions
+------------------------------
+
+See [here](doc/build-ubuntu.md) for Linux and [here](doc/build-osx.md) for OSX (Apple).
+
+cmake Build Options
+--------------------------
+
+### CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release/Debug]
+
+Specifies whether to build with or without optimization and without or with the symbol table for debugging. Unless you are specifically
+debugging or running tests, it is recommended to build as release.
+
+### LOW_MEMORY_NODE=[OFF/ON]
+
+Builds steemd to be a consensus only low memory node. Data and fields not needed for consensus are not stored in the object database.
+This option is recommended for witnesses and seed-nodes.
+
+### ENABLE_CONTENT_PATCHING=[ON/OFF]
+
+Allows content to be updated using a patch rather than a complete replacement.
+If you do not need an API server or need to see the result of patching content then you can set this to OFF.
+
+### CLEAR_VOTES=[ON/OFF]
+
+Clears old votes from memory that are not longer required for consensus.
+
+### BUILD_STEEM_TESTNET=[OFF/ON]
+
+Builds steemd for use in a private testnet. Also required for correctly building unit tests
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+The unit test target is `make chain_test`
+This creates an executable `./tests/chain_test` that will run all unit tests.
+
+Tests are broken in several categories:
+```
+basic_tests          // Tests of "basic" functionality
+block_tests          // Tests of the block chain
+live_tests           // Tests on live chain data (currently only past hardfork testing)
+operation_tests      // Unit Tests of Steem operations
+operation_time_tests // Tests of Steem operations that include a time based component (ex. vesting withdrawals)
+serialization_tests  // Tests related of serialization
+```
+
+Code Coverage Testing
+---------------------
+
+If you have not done so, install lcov `brew install lcov`
+
+```
+cmake -D BUILD_STEEM_TESTNET=ON -D ENABLE_COVERAGE_TESTING=true -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .
+make
+lcov --capture --initial --directory . --output-file base.info --no-external

+Steem OS X Build Instructions
+===============================
+
+1. Install XCode and its command line tools by following the instructions here: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode.
+   In OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and newer, you will be prompted to install developer tools when running a devloper command in the terminal. This step may not be needed.
+
+
+2. Install Homebrew by following the instructions here: http://brew.sh/
+
+3. Initialize Homebrew:
+   ```
+   brew doctor
+   brew update
+   brew tap homebrew/versions
+   ```
+
+4. Install dependencies:
+   ```
+   brew install homebrew/versions/boost160 cmake git openssl autoconf automake libtool python3
+   ```
+   Note: brew recently updated to boost 1.61.0, which is not yet supported by Steem. Until then, this will allow you to
+   install boost 1.60.0.
+
+
+5. *Optional.* To use TCMalloc in LevelDB:
+   ```
+   brew install google-perftools
+   ```
+
+6. Clone the Steem repository:
+   ```
+   git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem.git
+   cd steem
+   ```
+
+7. Build Steem:
+   ```
+   export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2h_1/
+   export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/boost160/1.60.0/
+   git submodule update --init --recursive
+   cmake -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
+   make
+   ```
+
+   Note, if you have multiple cores and you would like to compile faster, you can append `-j <number of threads>` to `make` e.g.:
+   ```
+   make -j4
+   ```
+
+   Also, some useful build targets for `make` are:
+   ```
+   steemd
+   chain_test
+   cli_wallet
+   ```
+
+   e.g.:
+   ```
+   make steemd
+   ```
+   This will only build steemd

+### Ubuntu 16.04
+
+For Ubuntu 16.04 users, after installing the right packages with `apt` Steem will build out of the box without further effort:
+
+    # Required packages
+    sudo apt-get install git make cmake g++ libssl-dev autoconf libtool
+
+    # Boost packages (also required)
+    sudo apt-get install libboost-thread-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-context-dev libboost-locale-dev libboost-coroutine-dev libboost-iostreams-dev
+
+    # Optional packages (not required, but will make a nicer experience)
+    sudo apt-get install doxygen perl libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev
+
+    git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem
+    cd steem
+    git submodule update --init --recursive
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
+    make steemd
+    make cli_wallet
+
+You can add the `-j` parameter to the `make` command to compile in parallel on a machine with lots of memory and multiple cores (e.g. `make -j4 steemd`).
+
+### Ubuntu 14.04
+
+Here are the required packages:
+
+    # Required packages
+    sudo apt-get install git make cmake g++ libssl-dev autoconf libtool
+
+    # Packages required to build Boost
+    sudo apt-get install python-dev libbz2-dev
+
+    # Optional packages (not required, but will make a nicer experience)
+    sudo apt-get install doxygen perl libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev
+
+Steem requires Boost 1.57 or later. The Boost provided in the Ubuntu 14.04 package manager (Boost 1.55) is too old. So building Steem on Ubuntu 14.04 requires downloading and installing a more recent version of Boost.
+
+According to [this mailing list post](http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/1-58-1-bugfix-release-necessary-td4674686.html), Boost 1.58 is not compatible with gcc 4.8 (the default C++ compiler for Ubuntu 16.04) when compiling in C++11 mode (which Steem does). So we will use Boost 1.57; if you try to build with any other version, you will probably have a bad time.
+
+Here is how to build and install Boost 1.57 into your user's home directory (make sure you install all the packages above first):
+
+    BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/opt/boost_1_57_0
+    wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2/download' -O boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
+    [ $( sha256sum boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1 ) == "910c8c022a33ccec7f088bd65d4f14b466588dda94ba2124e78b8c57db264967" ] || ( echo 'Corrupt download' ; exit 1 )
+    tar xjf boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
+    cd boost_1_57_0
+    ./bootstrap.sh "--prefix=$BOOST_ROOT"
+    ./b2 install
+
+Then the instructions are the same as for Steem:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem
+    cd steem
+    git submodule update --init --recursive
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
+    make steemd
+    make cli_wallet
+
+### Other setups
+
+- OSX (Apple) build instructions are [here](BUILD_OSX.md).
+- Windows build instructions do not yet exist.
+
+- The developers normally compile with gcc and clang. These compilers should be well-supported.
+- Community members occasionally attempt to compile the code with mingw, Intel and Microsoft compilers. These compilers may work, but the developers do not use them. Pull requests fixing warnings / errors from these compilers are accepted.
