+# The directory containing all PKGBUILDs for BOX64
+## FAQ
+### 1. How to use it?
+Just download the `PKGBUILD-<your-platform>` (no need to download the whole repository), go to directory where you downloaded and type:
+```sh
+mv ./PKGBUILD-<your-platform> ./PKGBUILD
+cd ..
+makepkg -si
+```
+This will copy the PKGBUILD for your platform (where you type your platform name instead of `<your-platform>`), build it and install the PKGBUILD on 64-bit Archlinux ARM.
+
+In the future, I might try to do an unified PKGBUILD for all platforms that will recognize your platform automatically.
+
+### 2. What platforms are currently supported.
+All specified in [COMPILE.md](../COMPILE.md).
+
+### 3. Any advantages with that sollution?
+This might give you some advantages like those:
+- automatic updates (with some AUR frontends like [`pamac-aur`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur/) or [`yay`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay));
+- easily uninstall with `pacman -R` when no needed (no need other scripts nor Makefile to do this);
+- your `box64` installation is recognized as a package (where it wasn't when installing with `make install`).
