 The default build adds a Flink-specific JAR for Hadoop 2, to allow using Flink with HDFS and YARN.
 
+## Build PyFlink
+
+If you want to build a PyFlink package that can be used for pip installation, you need to build Flink jars first, as described in [Build Flink](##Build Flink).
+Then go to the root directory of flink source code and run this command to build a sdist package:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+cd flink-python; python setup.py sdist
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+The sdist package will be found under `./flink-python/dist/`.
 
 Review comment:
   It's better to add the desc for how to install the `pyflink`, what do you think?
