-==========
+# Installation
+You have 3 ways to install odr-audioenc on your host:
+
+## Using binary debian packages
+If your host is running a debian-based OS and its cpu is one of amd64, arm64 or arm/v7, then you can install odr-audioenc using the standard debian packaging system:
+1. Update the debian apt repository list:
+ ```
+ curl -fsSL http://debian.opendigitalradio.org/odr.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/odr.asc 1>/dev/null
+ curl -fsSL http://debian.opendigitalradio.org/odr.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odr.list 1>/dev/null
+ ```
+1. Refresh the debian packages list:
+ ```
+ apt update
+ ```
+1. Install odr-audioenc:
+ ```
+ sudo apt install --yes odr-audioenc
+ ```
+
+## Using the dab-scripts
+You can compile odr-audioenc as well as the other main components of the mmbTools set with an installation script:
+1. Clone the dab-scripts repository:
+ ```
+ git clone https://github.com/opendigitalradio/dab-scripts.git
+ ```
+1. Follow the [instructions](https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/dab-scripts/tree/master/install)
+
+## Compiling manually
+Unlike the 2 previous options, this one allows you to compile odr-audioenc with the features you really need.
+
+### Requirements
+For Debian Bullseye-based OS, run the following commands:
+```
+# Required packages
+## C++11 compiler
+sudo apt-get install --yes build-essential automake libtool
+
+## ZeroMQ
+sudo apt-get install --yes libzmq3-dev libzmq5
+
+# optional packages
+## alsa libraries
+sudo apt-get install --yes libasound2-dev
+
+## JACK audio connection kit
+sudo apt-get install --yes libjack-jackd2-dev
+
+## libvlc and vlc for the plugins
+sudo apt-get install --yes libvlc-dev
+
+## gstreamer-1.0
+sudo apt-get install --yes libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
+
+## cURL to download the TAI-UTC bulletin, needed for timestamps in EDI output
+sudo apt-get install --yes libcurl4-openssl-dev
+```
+
+**Attention**: on versions older than Debian Buster, you'll need `vlc-nox` instead of `vlc-plugin-base`
+
+### Compilation
+1. Clone this repository:
+ ```
+ # stable version:
+ git clone https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-AudioEnc.git
+
+ # or development version (at your own risk):
+ git clone https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-AudioEnc.git -b next
+ ```
+1. Configure the project
+ ```
+ cd ODR-AudioEnc
+ ./bootstrap
+
+ # Select the features you need:
+ ./configure --enable-alsa --enable-jack --enable-vlc --enable-gst
+ ```
+1. Compile and install:
+ ```
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ ```
