 In order to build ML.NET for .NET Core 3.0, you need to do a few manual steps.
 
-1. Pick a version of the .NET Core 3.0 SDK you want to use. As of this writing, I'm using `3.0.100-alpha1-009622`. You can get the latest available version from the [dotnet/core-sdk README](https://github.com/dotnet/core-sdk#installers-and-binaries) page.
-2. Change the [DotnetCLIVersion.txt](https://github.com/dotnet/machinelearning/blob/master/DotnetCLIVersion.txt) file to use that version number.
-3. Delete the local `.\Tools\` folder from the root of the repo, to ensure you download the new version.
-4. Run `.\build.cmd -- /p:Configuration=Release-Intrinsics` from the root of the repo.
-5. If you want to build the NuGet packages, `.\build.cmd -buildPackages` after step 4.

 3. Navigate to the `machinelearning` directory
+4. Run `git submodule update --init` if you have not previously done so
 4. Run the build script `./build.sh`
 
 Calling the script `./build.sh` builds both the native and managed code.
