 ### Build process
-1. head to the binja api link you can find in `C:\Program Files\Vector35\BinaryNinja\api_REVISION.txt` (in my case, at the time of creating this repository, it is `https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/tree/919384bb2bb9216e000750a00793549ef7a46d87`)
-2. download repository as a zip (click green 'Code' button and hit 'Download ZIP')
-3. put wherever you want and extract it
-4. open cmd/terminal and navigate into the extracted folder
+1. get git link to currently installed version from `C:\Program Files\Vector35\BinaryNinja\api_REVISION.txt` (in my case, at the time of creating this repository, it is `https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/tree/d2e0420679ad9cfc0a25ccf768cdfef7bb14c978`)
+2. clone and build (change the hash in `git reset` command)
 ```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api --recurse-submodules
+cd binaryninja-api
+git reset --hard d2e0420679ad9cfc0a25ccf768cdfef7bb14c978
 cd examples
 git clone https://github.com/rikodot/binja_native_sigscan
 cd binja_native_sigscan
 cmake -S . -B build
 ```
-5. launch newly generated Visual Studio .sln project located in (...\binaryninja-api\examples\binja_native_sigscan\build\) and build the project OR use `cmake --build build -j8` instead
-6. to load the plugin, copy compiled binary into the plugins folder
+3. launch newly generated Visual Studio .sln project located in (...\binaryninja-api\examples\binja_native_sigscan\build\) and build the project OR use `cmake --build build -j8` instead
+4. to load the plugin, copy compiled binary into the plugins folder
    - on windows `copy ".\build\Release\sigscan.dll" "%appdata%\Binary Ninja\plugins\sigscan.dll"`
    - on linux `cp ./build/out/bin/libsigscan.so ~/.binaryninja/plugins/libsigscan.so`
