+## Installing libdisplay-info 
+
+You should search for some packages like `libdisplay-info-dev` or `libdisplay-info-devel` with your system package manager, like `apt`.
+
+Alternatively, to build from source and install `libdisplay-info`:
+1. Following the build instructions in [`libdisplay-info`](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/emersion/libdisplay-info/)
+   ```shell
+   # in libdisplay-info
+   git checkout 0.2.0 # as this crate is compatible with libdisplay-info >= 0.1.0, < 0.3.0
+   # You should install meson, a build system in pure python.
+   # You should be able to use it as long as you have a Python interpreter and pip
+   meson setup build/
+   ninja -C build/
+   ```
+2. Run `sudo ninja -C build/ install`, which will by default install related manifest files into `/usr/local/`, for example
+   ```shell
+   $ sudo ninja -C build/ install
+   [sudo] password for user: 
+   ninja: Entering directory `build/'
+   [0/1] Installing files.

+   ```shell
+   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/riscv64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
+   ```
