+## Downloads
+
+Pre-built packages are published on the [releases page](https://github.com/chaun14/romm-client/releases):
+
+- **Windows** — NSIS installer (`.exe`)
+- **macOS** — disk image (`.dmg`)
+- **Linux** — AppImage (`.AppImage`) and Flatpak (`.flatpak`)
+
+## Building from source
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dist:linux   # builds both AppImage and Flatpak
+npm run dist:win     # builds the Windows installer
+npm run dist:mac     # builds the macOS disk image
+```
+
+Building the Flatpak locally requires `flatpak`, `flatpak-builder` and the
+`org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp//23.08` runtime to be installed.
+
 ## Supported Emulators
 
 - PPSSPP (PlayStation Portable)
