 In 2017 we split our implementation of "Polkadot" from its platform-level component "Substrate". When we split them, we split the Polkadot code off into another repo (this repo), leaving the link:https://github.com/paritytech/substrate[**Substrate** repo] to be what used to be Polkadot, along with its branches and releases.
 
-We are actively building both Substrate and Polkadot, but things will be a little odd for a while.

+=== Install PoC-4 on "Alexander" Testnet
+
+Build Polkadot PoC-4 by cloning this repository and running the following commands from the root directory of the repo:
+
+```bash
+git checkout v0.4
+./scripts/init.sh
+./scripts/build.sh
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+If you were previously running PoC-3 on this testnet, you may need to purge your chain data first:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/polkadot purge-chain
+```
+
+Finally, connect to the global "Alexander" testnet by default by running:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/polkadot
+```
