 ## usage
 
+### pre-built binaries
+
+you can download the latest release from github: [here](https://github.com/seatedro/asciigen/releases/latest)
+
+you can also install it with homebrew:
+
+```bash
+brew tap seatedro/asciigen
+brew install asciigen
+```
+
+### build from source
+
 `zig build -Drelease run -- -i path/to/input.jpeg -o path/to/output.png`
 
 output file needs to be a `.png` since i saw some weird issues with jpegs.
