+## Build and Run (without Docker)
+
+Building `nostr-rs-relay` requires an installation of Cargo & Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
+
+Clone this repository, and then build a release version of the relay:
+
+```console
+$ git clone -q https://git.sr.ht/\~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay
+$ cd nostr-rs-relay
+$ cargo build -q -r
+```
+
+The relay executable is now located in
+`target/release/nostr-rs-relay`.  In order to run it with logging
+enabled, execute it with the `RUST_LOG` variable set:
+
+```console
+$ RUST_LOG=warn,nostr_rs_relay=info ./target/release/nostr-rs-relay
