+## Cloning and building src dependencies
+In order to run VSPERF, you will need to download DPDK and OVS. You can do this manually and build them in a preferred location, or you could use vswitchperf/src. The vswitchperf/src directory contains makefiles that will allow you to clone and build the libraries that VSPERF depends on, such as DPDK and OVS. To clone and build simply:
+
+```bash
+cd src
+make
+```
+
+To delete a src subdirectory and its contents to allow you to re-clone simply use:
+
+```bash
+make cleanse
+```
## Configure the `./conf/10_custom.conf` file
The configuration items that can be added is not limited to the initial contents. Any configuration item mentioned in any .conf file in `./conf` directory can be added and that item will be overridden by the custom
configuration value.

## Using a custom settings file
Alternatively a custom settings file can be passed to `vsperf` via the `--conf-file` argument.
