+## Installation

 ## Getting started
 
 Once installed, you only need to open a terminal at your project folder and run the command:

+## Use the install script
+
+The script requires `sh`, which is always available on Linux and macOS. `sh` is not available by default on Windows. The
+script can be run on Windows by installing [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/), then running it from Git Bash.
+
+This script will install the latest version of arduino-lint to `$PWD/bin`:
+
+```
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-lint/main/etc/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+If you want to target a different directory, for example `~/local/bin`, set the `BINDIR` environment variable like this:
+
+```
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-lint/main/etc/install.sh | BINDIR=~/local/bin sh
+```
+
+If you would like to use the `arduino-lint` command from any location, install arduino-lint to a directory already in
+your `PATH` or add the arduino-lint installation path to your `PATH` environment variable.
+
+If you want to download a specific arduino-lint version, for example `0.9.0`, pass the version number as a parameter
+like this:
+
+```
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-lint/main/etc/install.sh | sh -s 0.9.0
+```
+
+### Download
+
+Pre-built binaries for all the supported platforms are available for download from the links below.
+
+If you would like to use the `arduino-lint` command from any location, extract the downloaded file to a directory
+already in your `PATH` or add the arduino-lint installation path to your `PATH` environment variable.

+### Build from source
+
+If you’re familiar with Golang or if you want to contribute to the project, you will probably build arduino-lint locally
+with your Go toolchain. See the ["How to contribute"](CONTRIBUTING.md#building-the-source-code) page for instructions.
