 ### Pre-built binaries
 
 The [releases](https://forge.karnov.club/spadinastan/spud/releases) page contains pre-built binaries that can be downloaded. These are built on tag-push.
+
+The latest version can be installed via:
+
+```
+curl https://forge.karnov.club/spadinastan/spud/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+To pull a specific version, supply a `$SPUD_VERSION` that corresponds to an existing release tag, and to control where
+the binary is unpacked and installed, supply `$SPUD_ROOT`.
