+# Build and Install Instructions
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+In order to build Limine, the following programs have to be installed:
+common UNIX tools (also known as `coreutils`),
+`GNU make`, `grep`, `sed`, `find`, `awk`, `gzip`, `nasm`, `mtools`
+(optional, necessary to build `limine-uefi-cd.bin`).
+Furthermore, `gcc` or `llvm/clang` must also be installed, alongside
+the respective binutils.
+
+## Configure
+
+If using a release tarball (recommended, see
+https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine/releases), run `./configure`
+directly.
+
+If checking out from the repository, run `./bootstrap` first in order to
+download the necessary [dependencies](3RDPARTY.md) and generate the configure
+script (`GNU autoconf` required).
+
+`./configure` takes arguments and environment variables; for more information
+on these, run `./configure --help`.
+
+> **NOTE:** `./configure` by default does not build any Limine port. Make sure
+> to read the output of `./configure --help` and enable any or all ports!
+
+Limine supports both in-tree and out-of-tree builds. Simply run the `configure`
+script from the directory you wish to execute the build in. The following
+`make` commands are supposed to be run inside the build directory.
+
+## Building
+
+To build Limine, run:
+```bash
+make    # (or gmake where applicable)
+```
+
+## Installing
+
+This step will install Limine files to `share`, `include`, and `bin`
+directories in the specified prefix (default is `/usr/local`, see
+`./configure --help`.
+
+To install Limine, run:
+```bash
+make install    # (or gmake where applicable)
+```
