+### 1.1 Windows
+
+Windows builds are available in the releases page on GitHub:
+
+    https://github.com/rednex/rgbds/releases
+
+Copy the `.exe` files to `C:\Windows\` or similar.
+
+If you require the latest version in development, it should be possible to
+compile RGBDS with MinGW or Cygwin by following the instructions to build it
+on UNIX systems.
+
+### 1.2 Mac OS
+
+You can build RGBDS by following the instructions below. However, if you would
+prefer not to build RGBDS yourself, you may also install it using
+[Homebrew](http://brew.sh/).
+
+To install the latest release, use:
+
+```sh
+brew install rgbds
+```
+
+To install RGBDS with all of the current changes in development (as seen on the
+`master` branch on GitHub), use:
+
+```sh
+brew install rgbds --HEAD
+```
+
+### 1.3 Other UNIX-like systems
+
+No official binaries of RGBDS are distributed for these systems, you must follow
+the simple instructions below to compile and install it.
