+
+Check\_MK can be installed on Linux servers via DEB and RPM packages found on

+
+## Building on your own packages

+This will install the missing build dependencies, at least if you are working on
+a supported Linux distribution. Then you can either create RPM or DEB packages,
+depending on your distro.
+
+To build an RPM:
+
+ make rpm
+
+To create a DEB package:
+
+ DEBFULLNAME="Mr. Buildmaster" DEBEMAIL="mail(a)buildmaster.com"
make deb
+
+Don't forget to insert your name and mail address. As a result your should find
+packages of the form `check-mk-[edition]-[version].[deb|rpm]` in your current
+directory.
