 == Building from Source
 
 You don’t need to build from source to use Spring Data (binaries in https://repo.spring.io[repo.spring.io]), but if you want to try out the latest and greatest, Spring Data can be easily built with the https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper[maven wrapper].
-You also need JDK 17 or above.
+You also need JDK 17 or above and `make`.
+The local build environment is managed within a `Makefile` to download, build and spin up Redis in various configurations (Standalone, Sentinel, Cluster, etc.)
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+ $ make test
+----
+
+The preceding command runs a full build.
+You can use `make start`, `make stop`, and `make clean` commands to control the environment yourself.
+This is useful if you want to avoid constant server restarts.
+Once all Redis instances have been started, you can either run tests in your IDE or the full Maven build:
 
 [source,bash]
