+# Enhancing and developing the tikz-trackschematic library
+
+1. The tikz-trackschematic should be regularly installed via TeX Live to modify the library. The distributed package comes with a development switch.
+2. Run the build script with `sudo ./build.sh --install-dev`. This will soft link the local files out of src folder into your TeX Live installation.

+4. After implementing your modification run `./build.sh --test` to check for any breaking changes.
