 - Using Visual Studio 2017, Rider or Visual Studio Code (configurations are included)
 - From command line using `dotnet run --project osu.Desktop`. When building for non-development purposes, add `-c Release` to gain higher performance.
+- To run with code analysis, instead use `powershell ./build.ps1` or `build.sh`. This is currently only supported under windows due to [resharper cli shortcomings](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-410004). Alternative, you can install resharper or use rider to get inline support in your IDE of choice.
 
 Note: If you run from command line under linux, you will need to prefix the output folder to your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. See `.vscode/launch.json` for an example
