 ## Requirements
 
-Xcode 12 or higher is required to generate a build for all the platforms supported by the `build.sh` script. In addition to that, all the system dependencies for building `jq` are also required. You'll need to have `git`, `libtool`, `make`, `automake`, and `autoconf` installed on your Mac.

You'll need to have `automake`, and `autoconf` installed on your Mac (other dependencies are part of Xcode's command line tools).
 
 ## Building
 
-To build, make sure you have all of the required dependencies, and run the `build.sh` file.
+Before building, make sure you have all of the required dependencies and that command line tools are selected for the desired version of Xcode. 
+
+To install `automake`, and `autoconf` using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh):
+
+```
+brew install automake autoconf
+```
+
+To select Xcode command line tools:
+
+```
+sudo xcode-select -s /path/to/Xcode.app
+```
+
+Now, you can build by running the `build.sh` file.
