 just deploying Fission Workflows, use the helm chart which points to prebuilt

-## Requirements
+## Compilation
+There are two ways to compiling the environment: locally or in Docker. Regardless of the approach, ensure that your 
+environment meets all prerequisite requirements, and checkout the repo from github.
+
+### Local Compilation
+
+#### Requirements
 - go >1.8
 - docker
 - [glide](http://glide.sh/) package manager
 
-## Compilation
-Ensure that your environment meets all prerequisite requirements, and checkout the repo from github.
-
 ```bash
 # Install dependencies
-glide install
+glide install -v
 
-cd build
-bash ./build-linux.sh
+# Build the artifacts: wfcli, fission-workflows-bundle
+build/build-linux.sh
 
-# Optional: Ensure that you target the right docker registry (assuming minikube)
-eval $(minikube docker-env)
+# Build the docker images (the NOBUILD parameter indicates that Docker should use the artifacts (wfci, 
+# fission-workflows-bundle) you just build with build/build-linux.sh)
+NOBUILD=y build/docker.sh fission latest
+```
 
-# Build the docker images
-bash ./docker.sh fission latest
+### In-Docker Compilation
+
+THe in-Docker compilation approach builds all artifacts in Docker containers. The advantage of this is that builds 
+are not affected by the environment differences of your local machine and limits the need to install build tooling on
+your machine (except for Docker). This comes at the cost of performance: builds are started completely clean  
+every time; dependencies, intermediate build steps and artifacts are not cached. 
+
+While the local compilation is most convenient for developing and testing Fission Workflows, In-Docker compilation 
+should be used for building the official/final images. 
+
+```bash
+# Build the docker images (the absence of the NOBUILD parameter indicates that Docker should first build the artifacts 
+# in a Docker container)
+build/docker.sh
 ```
 
+## Deployment
+
 To deploy your locally compiled version. **As of writing Fission Workflows, requires fission to be installed 
 in the fission namespace.**
 ```bash
 helm install --set "tag=latest" --namespace fission charts/fission-workflows
 ```
 
-### CLI
+## Optional: CLI
 There is an experimental CLI available, called `wfcli`.
 The intent is to integrate it into the Fission CLI, removing the need for the separate CLI.
 ```bash
