 Manual and Building
 -------------------
 
 The instructions below use the automated script [gitian-build.py](gitian-build.py) which only works in Ubuntu. 
+=======
+The script automatically installs some packages with apt. If you are not running it on a debian-like system, pass `--no-apt` along with the other
+arguments to it. It calls all available .yml descriptors, which in turn pass the build configurations for different platforms to gitian.
