-The example directory contains examples for you to get started.
+The cpp-package directory contains the implementation of C++ API. As mentioned above, users are required to build this directory or package before using it.
+**The cpp-package is built while building the MXNet shared library, *libmxnet.so*.**
+
+###Steps to build the C++ package:
+1.  Building the MXNet C++ package requires building MXNet from source.
+2.  Clone the MXNet github repository **recursively** to ensure the code in submodules is available for building MXNet.
