 ### Using kde-builder (Recommended)
 
+This project is not currently part of KDE's repo-metadata, so you need to add it as a custom project in your `~/.config/kde-builder.yaml`.
+
+1. Set up kde-builder:
+   - https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/building/kde-builder-setup/
+2. Install distro build dependencies:
+
+```bash
+kde-builder --install-distro-packages
+```
+
+3. Add a project entry to `~/.config/kde-builder.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+project alakarte:
+  repository: https://invent.kde.org/marcoa/a-la-karte.git
+  cmake-options: -DALAKARTE_SDL3_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/SDL
+```
+
+4. Build:
+
 ```bash
 kde-builder alakarte
 ```
 
+To run the built app:
+
+```bash
+kde-builder --run alakarte
+```
+
 ### Manual Build
 
 ```bash
diff --git a/.kde-builder.yaml b/kde-builder.yaml
similarity index 87%
rename from .kde-builder.yaml
