+## Building from Source
+
+To build wiremix from source, you'll need:
+
+* Rust 1.74.1 or later
+* PipeWire development libraries
+* pkg-config
+* clang
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Install the required dependencies for your distribution:
+
+* **Ubuntu/Debian**: `sudo apt install cargo libpipewire-0.3-dev pkg-config clang`
+* **Fedora**: `sudo dnf install cargo pipewire-devel clang`
+* **Arch Linux**: `sudo pacman -S rust pipewire pkg-config clang`
+
+### Build Steps
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/tsowell/wiremix.git
+   cd wiremix
+   ```
+
+2. Build the project:
+   ```bash
+   cargo build --release
+   ```
+
+3. The binary will be available at `target/release/wiremix`
+
+4. Optionally, install it system-wide:
+   ```bash
+   cargo install --path .
+   ```
+
+### Development Build
+
+For development with debug symbols and faster compilation:
+
+```bash
+cargo build
+```
+
+The debug binary will be at `target/debug/wiremix`.
