+# Usage
+
+rustc_codegen_cranelift can be used as a near-drop-in replacement for `cargo build` or `cargo run` for existing projects.
+
+Assuming `$cg_clif_dir` is the directory you cloned this repo into and you followed the instructions (`prepare.sh` and `build.sh` or `test.sh`).
+
+## Cargo
+
+In the directory with your project (where you can do the usual `cargo build`), run:
+
+```bash
+$ $cg_clif_dir/build/cargo.sh build
+```
+
+This will build and run your project with rustc_codegen_cranelift instead of the usual LLVM backend.

+## Rustc
+
+> You should prefer using the Cargo method.
+
+```bash
+$ $cg_clif_dir/build/bin/cg_clif my_crate.rs

+
+> This requires all dependencies to be available as dynamic library.
