How to synthesize phenibut (β-Phenyl-γ-aminobutyric) from gaba (γ-aminobutyric)?

I hope I won’t violate any rules. It’s legal and just a question:)

If I have gaba powder, is there a way to make it to phenibut? (It’s a legal supplement in my area). It’s the same molecule, only a phenylering is added. I can’t find a way on the internet. Is there a way to bind (Benzol?) it to gaba?
