 ## Try it out
 
-- Compile the `examples` using `cargo build -p dora-rs --examples`
-- Run the `mini-dataflow` example using `cargo run -- run examples/mini-dataflow.yml`
+- Compile the dora runtime using `cargo build -p dora-runtime --release`
+- Compile the nodes in `examples` using `cargo build -p dora-coordinator --examples --release`
+- Compile the Rust example operator through `cargo build --manifest-path ../runtime/examples/example-operator/Cargo.toml --release`
+- Compile the C example operator through:
+  - `cd ../runtime/examples/c-operator`
+  - `cp ../../../api/c/operator/api.h .`
+  - `clang -c operator.c`
+  - `clang -shared -v operator.o -o operator.so`
+- Run the `mini-dataflow` example using `cargo run --release -- run examples/mini-dataflow.yml`
   - This spawns a `timer` source, which sends the current time periodically, and a `logger` sink, which prints the incoming data.
-  - The `timer` will exit after 100 iterations. The `logger` will then exit with a timeout error.
+  - The `timer` will exit after 100 iterations. The other nodes/operators will then exit as well because all sources closed.
