+## AppImage Build
+
+To create a portable AppImage that can run on any Linux distribution:
+
+```bash
+make appimage
+```
+
+This creates `Passport-C-Media-Player-0.1-x86_64.AppImage`, a self-contained executable that includes all dependencies. Users can run it directly:
+
+```bash
+./Passport-C-Media-Player-0.1-x86_64.AppImage
+```
+
+For a fully portable setup, create a `media/` directory in the same folder as the AppImage and add your channel videos there. The AppImage will automatically detect and load channels from this directory.
+
 ## Media
 
 The player scans `./media` for channel directories. Each subdirectory is treated as one channel, and the supported video files inside it are played in alphabetical order as that channel's schedule.
