 ### Building
 
-By default this code is not built or included in the client. To build on Linux, BSD, or Mac add ZT\_ENABLE\_NETCONF\_MASTER=1 to the make command line. You'll need the development headers for Sqlite3 installed. They ship as part of OSX and Xcode. On Linux or BSD you'll probably need to install a package.
