 ### Building a matching version for Switch
 
 1. Download [Clang 4.0.1](https://releases.llvm.org/download.html#4.0.1) and extract the archive.
 2. Set the UKING_CLANG environment variable to point to the extracted archive, such that `$UKING_CLANG/bin/clang` exists.
 3. You'll also need devkitA64. Set the DEVKITA64 environment variable. For Linux, $DEVKITA64 is typically `/opt/devkitpro/devkitA64`.
+    * Also add devkitA64 to your PATH: `export PATH=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitA64/bin:$PATH`
 4. In the root of this repository, run: `mkdir build`
 5. `cd build`
 6. `cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../ToolchainNX64.cmake ..`
