 There is a simple example in [examples/simple_build](examples/simple_build)
 directory that is a good place to get started with the minimal configuration.
 
+To build and run the simple example with the default gcc compiler:
+
+    cd examples/simple_build
+    ../../out/gn gen -C out
+    ninja -C out
+    ./out/hello
+
 For a maximal configuration see the Chromium setup:
