This document provides instructions for compiling and testing the WDT (Facebook's open-source data transfer library). It summarizes the steps to install prerequisites like Cmake and OpenSSL. It then describes compiling WDT from source, including issues encountered with specific library versions. The document tests WDT's transfer speed compared to SCP by sending a 5GB directory from one Ubuntu system to another. It notes WDT requires specifying a start port unlike SCP.
