+# Building and Running Example Unikernels with urunc
+
+This document explains how to build and run example unikernels using urunc.
+It is intended for users who want to quickly experiment with urunc using
+real-world applications.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before building any unikernel, ensure the following tools are installed:
+
+- Git
+- Build tools (make, gcc or clang)
+- Docker (optional, but recommended for reproducible builds)
+- A working urunc installation
+
+---
+
+## Redis Unikernel Example
+
+Redis is a popular in-memory data store and a good candidate for a unikernel.
+
+### Build Steps
+
+1. Clone the Redis unikernel repository:
+   ```
+   git clone <redis-unikernel-repository>
+   cd redis-unikernel
+   ```
+
+2. Build the unikernel image:
+   ```
+   make
+   ```
+
+3. Verify that the image was created successfully.
+
+### Running with urunc
+
+```
+urunc run redis.img
+```
+
+---
+
+## Nginx Unikernel Example
+
+Nginx can be used to demonstrate HTTP workloads running as unikernels.
+
+### Build Steps
+
+1. Clone the Nginx unikernel repository:
+   ```
+   git clone <nginx-unikernel-repository>
+   cd nginx-unikernel
+   ```
+
+2. Build the unikernel:s
+   ```
+   make
+   ```
+
+### Running with urunc
+
+```
+urunc run nginx.img
+```
+
+---
+
+## Httpreply Unikernel Example
+
+Httpreply is a minimal HTTP service useful for testing networking behavior.
+
+### Build Steps
+
+1. Clone the Httpreply unikernel repository:
+   ```
+   git clone <httpreply-unikernel-repository>
+   cd httpreply-unikernel
+   ```
+
+2. Build the unikernel:
+   ```
+   make
+   ```
+
+### Running with urunc
+
+```
+urunc run httpreply.img
+```
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- Exact build steps may vary depending on the unikernel framework used.
+- Docker-based builds are recommended to ensure consistent and reproducible environments.
+- These examples can be extended to additional applications and frameworks supported by urunc.
