 ## Building the library
-Build the library using Maven as shown below.
+You can build library using both Maven and SBT build tools
+
+#### Maven
+Build the library using Maven(3.3) as shown below
 
 ```sh
 mvn clean install
 ```
 
+#### SBT 
+Build the library using SBT(0.13.13) as show below
+```sh
+sbt clean assembly
+```
+
 ## Using Spark Shell
 Run this library in Spark using the `--jars` command line option in `spark-shell` or `spark-submit`. For example:
 
+Maven Jars
 ```sh
 $SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --jars target/spark-tensorflow-connector-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar,target/lib/tensorflow-hadoop-1.0-01232017-SNAPSHOT-shaded-protobuf.jar
