+Before building VIVO, you will also need to clone (and switch to the same branch, if other than main) of [Vitro](https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro). The Vitro project must be cloned to a sibling directory next to VIVO so that it can be found during the build. You will also need to clone (and switch to the appropriate branch) of [Vitro-languages](https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro-languages) and [VIVO-languages](https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO-languages).
 
 Build and start VIVO.
 
+1. In Vitro-languages, run:
+```
+mvn install
+```
+
+2. In VIVO-languages, run:
+```
+mvn install
+```
+
+3. In VIVO (with Vitro cloned alongside it), run:
 ```
 mvn clean package -s installer/example-settings.xml
 docker-compose up
