+## Install 
+#### Header only version
 * Copy the source [folder](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/v1.x/include/spdlog) to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler.
 
-#### Or use your favorite package manager:
+#### Static lib version
+* spdlog now supports compiling as a static lib for much faster compile times.
+* Copy and add [src/spdlog.cpp](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/blob/v1.x/src/spdlog.cpp) to your build.
+* Pass the `-DSPDLOG_COMPILED_LIB` to the compiler (and -lspdlog to the linker).
