+
+## Installing from Source
+
+If you prefer to build Lima from source, follow these steps:
+
+### Prerequisites
+Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:
+- `git`
+- `go`
+- `make`
+
+### Build and Install
+Run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/lima-vm/lima
+cd lima
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+> **Note:** `sudo make install` is required unless you have write permissions for `/usr/local`. Otherwise, installation may fail.
+
+### Alternative Installation (Without Sudo)
+If you prefer installing Lima in your home directory, configure the `PREFIX` and `PATH` as follows:
+
+```bash
+make PREFIX=$HOME/.local install
+export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+## Packaging Lima for Distribution
+After building Lima from source, you may want to package it for installation on other machines:
+
+```bash
+cd _output
+# Create a compressed archive
+tar czf lima-package.tar.gz *
+```
+
+This package can then be transferred and installed on the target system.
+
+## Advanced Configuration with Kconfig Tools
+(This step is not needed for most users)
+
+To change the build configuration such as the guest architectures, run:
+
+```bash
+make config  # For text-based configuration
+make menuconfig  # For a menu-based configuration
+```
+
+This requires Kconfig tools to be installed. It is also possible to manually edit `.config`. The default configuration can be found in `config.mk` (which follows make syntax).
+
+The tools are available as either `kconfig-frontends` or `kbuild-standalone`. There are two interfaces:
+- `conf` for text-based configuration.
+- `mconf` for a menu-driven interface.
+
+A Python implementation is available at [Kconfiglib](https://pypi.org/project/kconfiglib). It can be installed with:
+
+```bash
+pip install --user kconfiglib
+```
+
+This also includes support for `guiconfig` (GUI-based configuration).
