+For other operating systems you need to download and compile yourself. This can be done either manually, or with this automatic script:
+
+    bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mc-server/MCServer/master/compile.sh)"
+
+There is also an archive of binary builds on the buildserver: http://builds.cuberite.org
 
 Compiling the server yourself has other benefits: you may get better performance performance (1.5-3x as fast) and it supports more operating systems. See the [COMPILING.md](https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/blob/master/COMPILING.md) file for more details.
