+# Installing the drop-app client on Archlinux
+
+To install the client application on your system,
+you will need to be able to install packages from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/).
+This is usually done using `yay` or `paru` package managers.
+These extend the default package manager `pacman` with the ability
+to download and install packages from the AUR.
+If you do not have one installed, you can [install yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay).
+
+## Installing drop-app
+
+```bash
+yay -S drop-oss-app-bin
+```
+
+## Updating drop-app
+
+To update drop-app, run `yay`. If an update is available, `yay` will prompt you to update it.

+# Installing the drop-app client on Bazzite
+
+To install the client app, you will need to use distrobox which allows
+us to install packages from other distributions inside a container.
+
+The first thing you'll need to do is open a terminal application.
+In the terminal, you need to create a distrobox container.
+This container will be created using the archlinux image.
+
+```bash
+# Create the distrobox container called drop-app
+distrobox create --image archlinux drop-app
+distrobox enter drop-app
+```
+
+It will take a few seconds to prepare the container.
+Once ready, you need to install the `yay` package manager to be able to install packages from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/).
+
+```bash
+# This enables the multilib repository which is needed to install umu-launcher and drop-app
+sudo sh -c 'printf "\n\n[multilib]\nInclude = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist\n" >> /etc/pacman.conf'
+# Updates repositories and system
+sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm
+sudo pacman -S --needed --noconfirm base-devel git
+git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
+cd yay
+# This will build and install yay
+makepkg -si --noconfirm
+# We can now delete the yay folder
+cd .. && rm -rf ./yay
+```
+
+Next, you can install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+yay -S --noconfirm gnu-free-fonts
+```
+
+Then you will need to install a vulkan driver.
+If you are using an Intel GPU, you can run:
+
+```bash
+yay -S --noconfirm lib32-vulkan-intel
+```
+
+If you are using an AMD GPU, you can run:
+
+```bash
+yay -S --noconfirm lib32-vulkan-radeon
+```
+
+Then you can install drop-app:
+
+```bash
+yay -S --noconfirm drop-oss-app-bin
+```
+
+```bash
+distrobox-export --app drop-app
+# Go back to Bazzite
+exit
+```
+
+The drop-app application should be appear in your application menu.
+
+## Update drop-app
+
+In the terminal, you need to enter the drop-app container and update system packages within in.
+
+```bash
+distrobox enter drop-app
+yay
+exit
+```
+
+## Uninstall the drop-app client
+
+The following command will delete the distrobox container and delete the drop-app application from your system.
+
+```bash
+distrobox rm drop-app --force
+```
