-## Building
+## Installation
+
+This section will explain how to build and install the MIDIMonster.
+Development is mainly done on Linux, but builds for OSX and Windows
+are possible.
+
+### Using the installer
+
+The easiest way to install MIDIMonster and its dependencies on a Linux system
+is the [installer script](installer.sh).
+
+The following commands download the installer, make it executable and finally, start it:
+
+```
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cbdevnet/midimonster/master/installer.sh ./
+chmod +x ./installer.sh
+./installer.sh
+```
+
+The installer script can also update MIDIMonster to the latest version automatically,
+using a configuration file generated during the installation.
+To do so, run `midimonster-updater` as root on your system after using the installer.
 
-This section will explain how to build the provided sources to be able to run
-`midimonster`.
+If you prefer to install a Debian package you can download the `.deb` file from our
+[Release page](https://github.com/cbdevnet/midimonster/releases).
+To install the package, run the following command as the root user:

+#### Building for Linux/OSX
 
 For Linux and OSX, just running `make` in the source directory should do the trick.
 
+Some backends have been marked as optional as they require rather large additional software to be installed,

+To install a source build with `make install`, please familiarize yourself with the build parameters
+as specified in the next section.
+
+Backends may also be built selectively by running `make <backendfile>` in the `backends/` directory,
+for example

+```
+make jack.so
