-# What is DPM?
+## What is DPM?
 
 https://dpm.darkhorselinux.org
 
+## Build Dependencies
 
+To build DPM from source, you'll need the following dependencies:
+
+- GCC/G++ (version 10 or later, supporting C++20)
+- CMake (version 3.22 or later)
+- Make
+- libstdc++ (C++ standard library)
+- Linux headers
+- dlopen/dlsym support (provided by libdl)
+
+## Building from Source
+
+```
+mkdir ./build && cd ./build
+cmake ../
+make
+make install
+```
+
+This will install:
+- The `dpm` binary to `/usr/bin/`
+- Module shared objects to `/usr/lib/dpm/modules/`
+- Configuration files to `/etc/dpm/conf.d/`
+
+## Development
+
+For development work, you can run DPM directly from the build directory:
+
+```
+./dpm
+```
+
+To load modules from the build directory, specify the module path:
+
+```
+./dpm -m ./modules
+```
