+### Gentoo
+
+Put the ebuild in `packages/gentoo` into your [local overlay](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository).
+
+### DEB and RPM
+
+Compile with `-DWITH_DEB=ON` or `-DWITH_RPM=ON`.
+Run `make package` from the build directory to generate a DEB/RPM package.
+
+RPM packages are untested and DEB packages are tested sporadically.
+To use the DEB package on stretch, you will need libcurlpp0(https://packages.debian.org/de/libcurlpp0) from buster.

+### Other
+
+Run `make install` from the build directory to install.
