 ## Creating a native executable
 
+It is recommended to use the native GraalVM images to create executable jars from Theodolite. For more information please visit the [Native Image guide](https://www.graalvm.org/reference-manual/native-image/).
+
 You can create a native executable using:
 
-```shell script
+```sh
 ./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=native
 ```
 
 Or, if you don't have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:
 
-```shell script
+```sh
 ./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=native -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true
 ```
 
 You can then execute your native executable with:
 ```./build/theodolite-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner```
