 For homebrew users, you need to run `brew tap PotatoLabs/homebrew-git-redate` and then `brew install git-redate`.
 
-If you're not using homebrew, you can clone this repo and move the `git-redate` file into any folders in your $PATH. Restart your terminal afterwards and you're good to go!
+You can also create debian/rpm packages for installing by cloning this repo and running `make package` in the project directory.
+
+The `make install` command can be used to directly install the script in the current system and `make uninstall` can be used to reverse the install operation.
+
+If you want to do it manually you can move the `git-redate` file into any folders in your $PATH. Restart your terminal afterwards and you're good to go!
 
 For window's users, you may paste the file into `${INSTALLATION_PATH}\mingw64\libexec\git-core`. Assuming you used the default settings the installation path will be `C:\Program Files\Git`.
