+### 1. Download the Package
+
+Download the latest `.deb` package from the [Gitea Releases](https://gitea-lxc.moon-dragon.us/echo/linux_patch_manager/releases) page:
+
+```bash
+wget https://gitea-lxc.moon-dragon.us/echo/linux_patch_manager/releases/download/v0.0.2/linux-patch-manager_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
+```
+
+### 2. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y postgresql-16 libssl3
+```
+
+### 3. Install the Package
+
+```bash
+sudo dpkg -i linux-patch-manager_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
+```
+
+Or with automatic dependency resolution:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install ./linux-patch-manager_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### 1. Database Setup
+
+Create the PostgreSQL database and user:
+
+```bash
+sudo -u postgres psql <<EOF
+CREATE DATABASE patch_manager;
+CREATE USER patch_manager WITH PASSWORD 'your_secure_password';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE patch_manager TO patch_manager;
+\q
+EOF
+```
+
+### 2. Configure the Application
+
+Edit the configuration file:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/patch-manager/config.toml
+```
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```toml
+[database]
+url = "postgresql://patch_manager:your_secure_password@localhost/patch_manager"
+
+[server]
+host = "0.0.0.0"
+port = 8080
+
+[security]
+# Generate a secure key for session encryption
+session_key = "generate-a-secure-random-key-here"
+```
+
+### 3. Run Database Migrations
+
+```bash
+sudo -u postgres psql patch_manager < /usr/share/patch-manager/migrations/001_initial_schema.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql patch_manager < /usr/share/patch-manager/migrations/002_seed_admin.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql patch_manager < /usr/share/patch-manager/migrations/003_jobs_scheduling.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql patch_manager < /usr/share/patch-manager/migrations/004_maintenance_windows.sql
+sudo -u postgres psql patch_manager < /usr/share/patch-manager/migrations/005_audit_hardening.sql
+```
+
+## Starting Services
+
+### Start the Application
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable --now patch-manager.target
+```
+
+### Verify Services are Running
+
+```bash
+systemctl status patch-manager-web
+systemctl status patch-manager-worker
+```
+
+### Check Logs
+
+```bash
+journalctl -u patch-manager-web -f
+journalctl -u patch-manager-worker -f
+```
+
+## Initial Access
+
+1. Open a web browser and navigate to: `https://your-server-ip:8080`
+
+2. Default admin credentials (change immediately!):
+   - **Username:** `admin`
+   - **Password:** Check the migration output or set during setup
+
+3. Complete the initial setup wizard to configure:
+   - Admin password change
+   - MFA setup
+   - First host enrollment
+
+## Building from Source
+
+### Prerequisites

+source $HOME/.cargo/env
+
+# Node.js 18+
+sudo apt install -y nodejs npm
+
+# Build dependencies
+sudo apt install -y pkg-config libssl-dev postgresql-16
+```
+
+### Build the Package
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/linux_patch_manager
+chmod +x scripts/build-package.sh
+./scripts/build-package.sh
