+
+## Building Kyuubi with Apache Maven
+**Kyuubi** server is built based on [Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org),
+
+```bash
+./build/mvn clean package -DskipTests
+```
+
+Running the code above in the Kyuubi project root directory is all we need to build a runnable Kyuubi server.
+
+## Building a Runnable Distribution
+
+To create a Kyuubi distribution like those distributed by [Kyuubi Release Page](https://github.com/yaooqinn/kyuubi/releases),
+and that is laid out so as to be runnable, use `./build/dist` in the project root directory.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+./build/dist --name custom-name --tgz
+```
+
+This will build a Kyuubi distribution name `kyuubi-{version}-bin-custom-name.tar.gz`. For more information on usage,
+run `./build/dist --help`
+
+## Running Tests
+The following is an example of a command to run the tests:
+
+```bash
+./build/mvn clean test
+```
+
+With Maven, you can use the -DwildcardSuites flag to run individual Scala tests:
+
+```bash
+./build/mvn -Dtest=none -DwildcardSuites=yaooqinn.kyuubi.operation.OperationTypeSuite test
+```
+
+For more information about the ScalaTest Maven Plugin, refer to the [ScalaTest documentation](http://www.scalatest.org/user_guide/using_the_scalatest_maven_plugin).
