These instructions will walk through how to build MXNet for the Raspberry Pi and install the Python bindings for the library.
+You can do a dockerized cross compilation build on your local machine or a native build on-device.
+
The complete MXNet library and its requirements can take almost 200MB of RAM, and loading large models with the library can take over 1GB of RAM. Because of this, we recommend running MXNet on the Raspberry Pi 3 or an equivalent device that has more than 1 GB of RAM and a Secure Digital (SD) card that has at least 4 GB of free memory.
-**Install MXNet**
+**Cross compilation build (Experimental)**
+
+## Docker installation
+**Step 1** Install Docker on your machine by following the [docker installation instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository).
+
+*Note* - You can install Community Edition (CE)
+
+**Step 2** [Optional] Post installation steps to manage Docker as a non-root user.
+
+Follow the four steps in this [docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user) to allow managing docker containers without *sudo*.
+
+## Build
+
+The following command will build a container with dependencies and tools and then compile MXNet for
+ARMv7. The resulting artifact will be located in `build/mxnet-x.x.x-py2.py3-none-any.whl`, copy this
+file to your Raspberry Pi.
+
+```bash
+ci/build.py -p armv7
+```
+
+## Install
+
+Create a virtualenv and install the package we created previously.
+
+```bash
+virtualenv -p `which python3` mxnet_py3
+source mxnet_py3/bin/activate
+pip install mxnet-x.x.x-py2.py3-none-any.whl
