 That's it! The Makefile will automatically create the build directory and place
 the compiled executable there.
 
+## Running
+
+Once compiled, the program can be run with the following:
+
+```
+cd build # or debug
+
+./gc
+```
+
+By default the program will output the results of the test cases:
+
+> test_int_alloc: PASS
+> test_pair_alloc: PASS
+> test_obj_count: PASS
+> test_pair_alloc: PASS
+> test_unreachable: PASS
+> test_auto_gc: PASS
+
+If all six tests pass, then the library compiles correctly on your system and
+should be ready for experimentation!
