+## Working with non-released .NET SDKs
+
+This repository may require a non-released version of the .NET SDK, as specified in the `global.json` file. When the required SDK version is not publicly available through normal channels, you may encounter an error when running `dotnet build` directly:
+
+```
+The .NET SDK could not be found, please run ./eng/common/dotnet.sh.
+```
+
+### Setting up the correct SDK
+
+Before using plain `dotnet build` commands, you need to install the required SDK version locally:
+
+**On Linux/macOS:**
+```shell
+./eng/common/dotnet.sh
+```
+
+**On Windows:**
+```shell
+.\eng\common\dotnet.cmd
+```
+
+This downloads and installs the correct SDK version to a local `.dotnet` directory in the repository root.
+
+### Using dotnet commands with the local SDK
+
+After running the setup script once to install the SDK, you can use regular `dotnet` commands normally:
+
+1. **One-time SDK installation**:
+   ```shell
+   # Linux/macOS
+   ./eng/common/dotnet.sh
+
+   # Windows
+   .\eng\common\dotnet.cmd
+   ```
+
+2. **Regular dotnet commands** (after SDK installation):
+   ```shell
+   dotnet build FSharp.Compiler.Service.sln
+   dotnet test tests/FSharp.Compiler.Service.Tests/
+   ```
+
 ## Testing from the command line
 
 You can find all test options as separate flags. For example `build -testAll`:
