+## Build pillow on Ubuntu 12.04
+
+    sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
+    sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev
+    sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
+    sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
+    sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev
+    sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
+    python setup.py build
+
+
+## Build it on Mac OS X 10.6.*
+
+Build an egg for i386 with Python 2.5/Python 2.6
+
+    export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386"
+    export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -arch i386"
+
+    python2.5 setup.py bdist_egg
+    python2.6 setup.py bdist_egg
+
+Build an egg for x86_64 with Python 2.7(install it via MacPorts)
+
+    python setup.py bdist_egg
+
+
+## Install it via package management system
+
+HomeBrew is cool, you could use it instead of MacPorts on OS X.
