-We recommend two different ways to build and install ACL:
-
-* Use the script located at `docker/install/ubuntu_install_arm_compute_lib.sh`. You can use this
-  script for building ACL from source natively or for cross-compiling the library on an x86 machine.
-  You may need to change the architecture of the device you wish to compile for by altering the
-  `target_arch` variable. Binaries will be built from source and installed to the location denoted by
