 The project uses **Meson** build system and **C++20**.
 
 ### Dependencies
+
 - Meson, Ninja
 - GCC/Clang (C++20 support)
 - Git (for subprojects)
 
 ### Build & Run
+
 ```bash
+git submodule init
+git submodule update
 meson setup build
 meson compile -C build
 ./build/src/cloud_point_rpc_server config.yaml
 ```
 
+#### Build on windows
+
+It's assumed that you have `GCC` and `make`/`ninja` installed on your system (and available in `PATH`)
+
+```powershell
+## FIRST OF ALL!
+git submodule init
+git submodule update
+# Next python:
+python3 -m venv .\venv
+.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+pip install meson cmake
+meson setup -Ddefault_library=static build
+meson compile -C build
+# To correctly get dlls:
+meson devenv -C build
+## .\build\tests\unit_tests < for dummy test
+## .\build\src\.. < produced execs and libs
+```
+
 ### Testing
+
 ```bash
 meson test -C build -v
 ```
 
 ## Docker
 
-You can build and run the cli using Docker.
+You can build and run the cli using `Docker`.
 
 ### 1. Build Image
+
 ```bash
 docker build -t cloud-point-rpc .
 ```
 
 ### 2. Run Container
-The cli will try to connect to a **running server** on ip and port defined in config.yml file. (defined in `config.yaml` inside the image). 
-For simplicity, it's better to use a host network, so you will not have any headache with accessability.

 You also can mount your own `config.yaml` to override the default settings:
+
 ```bash
 docker run --network=host -it -v $(pwd)/my_config.yaml:/app/config.yaml cloud-point-rpc
