-### Usage
+## Building
+
+**Important:**
+1. You need the [Android-NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html) r14b to build the apk.
+
+2. Don't forget to include the submodules when you clone:
+      - `git clone --recursive https://github.com/Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS.git`
+
+3. Build native FFmpeg dependency:
+      - Go to the `TMessagesProj/jni` folder and execute the following (define the path to your NDK r14b installation):
+
+      ```
+      export NDK=[PATH_TO_NDK]
+      ./build_ffmpeg_android.sh
+      ```
+
+4. If you want to publish a modified version of Telegram:
+      - You should get **your own API key** here: https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id and create a file called `API_KEYS` in the source root directory.
+        The contents should look like this:
+        ```
+        APP_ID = 12345
+        APP_HASH = aaaaaaaabbbbbbccccccfffffff001122
+        ```
+      - Do not use the name Telegram and the standard logo (white paper plane in a blue circle) for your app — or make sure your users understand that it is unofficial
+      - Take good care of your users' data and privacy
+      - **Please remember to publish your code too in order to comply with the licenses**
+
+5. Building under Windows may be problematic and won't be fixed
 
-**Beware of using the dev branch and uploading it to any markets, in many cases it not will work as expected**.
+The project can be built with Android Studio or from the command line with gradle:
 
-First of all, take a look at **src/main/java/org/telegram/messenger/BuildVars.java** and fill it with correct values.
-Import the root folder into your IDE (tested on Android Studio), then run project.
+`./gradlew assembleFatRelease`
