+## Compiling from source
-For more information, see [Getting started](getting-started.html).
+If you would like to build Bazel from source, clone the source from GitHub and
+run `./compile.sh` to build it:
+
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel.git
+$ cd bazel
+$ ./compile.sh
+```
+
+This will create a bazel binary in `bazel-bin/src/bazel`.
+
+Check our [continuous integration](http://ci.bazel.io) for the current status of
+the build.
