 If you copy the `third-party/openvr/lib/linux64/libopenvr_api.so` file into `/lib` you can run the `AdvancedSettings` file without anything else. Otherwise you'll need to run the `run-with-library.sh` file.
 
+# Installing
+
+The application can be installed by running `sudo make install` in the directory of the `Makefile`. 
+This will copy the build directory to `/opt/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings/AdvancedSettings` by default.
+The `PREFIX` location can be changed while running `qmake` by writing `qmake PREFIX=/your/dir/here`, then `make` and `sudo make install`.
