 > :warning: These instructions are intended for Linux-based systems. If you're using Windows, you can achieve similar results with PowerShell. You cannot use the `apt` command, so you'll need to manually [install Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) and change the `source.venv/bin/activate` command with `.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`.
 
+### Build from source
+
+If you want to take this even further and compile your own executable, you can either run the appropriate build script ([`build.linux.sh`](build.linux.sh) or [`build.windows.ps1`](build.windows.ps1)) or you follow their instructions on your own.
