 sudo apt install build-essential git python3 libaudiofile-dev libglew-dev libsdl2-dev
 ```
 
-## Current issues
+__Arch Linux__
+```
+sudo pacman -S base-devel python audiofile
+```
+Install the following AUR packages:
+* [glew](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/glew/)
+* [sdl2](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sdl2/)
+
+#### 3. Build the executable.
+
+Run `make` to build (defaults to `VERSION=us`)
+
+```
+make VERSION=jp -j6                 # build (J) version instead with 6 jobs
+make VERSION=us WINDOWS-BUILD=1     # builds a (U) Windows executable 
+```
+
+### On Windows
+
+Install WSL with a distro of your choice (Ubuntu 18.04 recommended) following [the official guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10).
+
+
+Then follow the instructions of the Linux section above. It's also possible to build using [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/), but it tends to be considerably more difficult.
+
+### Current issues
 
  * Support for the EU version is still experimental.
  * There seems to be savedata-related problems on some 64-bits builds.
