 ## Usage
 
 Check the [xk6-sql documentation](https://github.com/grafana/xk6-sql) on how to use this database driver.
+
+## Build
+
+Since the sqlite3 driver uses a native shared library, the build requirements are slightly different from other drivers.
+
+**Prerequisites**
+
+- [Go toolchain](https://go101.org/article/go-toolchain.html)
+- A build toolchain for your system that includes `gcc` or
+  another C compiler. On Debian and derivatives install the `build-essential`
+  package. On Windows you can use [tdm-gcc](https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/).
+  Make sure that `gcc` is in your `PATH`.
+- Git
+- Set `CGO_ENABLED=1` in the environment
+
+**Linux**
+
+```bash
+CGO_ENABLED=1 xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-sql-driver-sqlite3 --with github.com/grafana/xk6-sql@latest
+```
+
+**Windows**
+
+```
+set CGO_ENABLED=1
+xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-sql-driver-sqlite3 --with github.com/grafana/xk6-sql@latest
