+# Generating Releases
+
+> This document is likely only of interest to developers wishing to build release files. If you wish to use
+> stroid, please refer to the main readme instructions.
+
+## Building
+Release files can be built on an arm mac using the following commands:
+
+```bash
+./release.sh
+```
+
+all release files will be placed in the `releases/` folder.
+
+This will construct release files for arm mac, arm linux, and x86_64 linux. These should be
+compatible with most systems (linux more recent than 2020 and macOS more recent than 15.0)
+
+For those who wish to build from source see the main readme instructions.
+
+## Packaging
+The auto-generated release files are named according to the following convention:
+`stroid-<os>-<arch>`, these are all statically linked so they should
+just run on system. To distribute these files we want to package them into a single 
+archive file along with an installation script which will select the correct binary
+for the host system. There is a script `package_release.sh` which will do this automatically.
+
+Once the release files have been generated, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+./package_release.sh
+```
+
+## Uploading
+Once the release files have been packaged, they can be uploaded to the github releases page. This can be done manually through the github web interface, or
+automatically using the `gh` CLI tool. To upload using the CLI tool, first ensure you have it installed and authenticated with your
+github account. Then run the following command:
+
+```bash
+gh release create <tag> ./stroid-release.tar.gz
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can upload the files manually through the github web interface by navigating to the releases page of
+the repository and clicking on "Draft a new release". From there, you can upload the `stroid-release.tar.gz` file and
+publish the release.
