+## Building and mounting the filesystem manually
+
+For more modularity, you can build and mount the filesystem manually.
+
+### Building
+Inside the local directory, you can build the go binary:
+```bash
+go build
+```
+
+### Mounting
+Then, ou can mount the filesystem with the local binary.
+
+May require a privileged user (sudo).
+
+The basic usage is:
+```bash
+./stats_fs <MOUNT_POINT>
+```
+
+**Options:**
+ - debug \<true|false\> (default is false)
+ - socket \<statSocket\> (default is /run/vpp/stats.sock) : VPP socket for stats
