-The ''.tar.gz'' archive is the most basic distributable package that available. The archive contains the entire directory structure of the binaries and libraries as they should appear on the file-system of the host from the root directory (i.e. ''/''). The default directory structure is prefixed with ''/usr/local''.
+The ''.tar.gz'' archive is intended for arbitrary installs, meaning that if you can't install ''sac2c'' using one of the other packages due to system permissions, you can use this archive to install it under you home-directory. The libraries of the compiler can be placed anywhere so long as the ''sac2c'' binary (and related) know where to find them. For this reason the archive provides the ''sac2c'' binary (and related) as source code to be compiled by the end-user.
+For simplicities sake, an install script is provided. It supports several flags, but the most important one is ''-i'' to indicate where you want to install everything (for example ''~/.local'').

 Installation of the compiler is as simple as extracting from the archive:
 <code>
-$ sudo tar --strip-components=1 -C / -xzf sac2c-VERSION-RELEASE.tar.gz
+$ mkdir ~/temp_extract && cd ~/temp_extract
+$ tar -xzf sac2c-VERSION-RELEASE.tar.gz
+$ nano README                            # if you want more information on the install
+$ bash ./install.sh -i INSTALL_DIR       # and thats it
+$ cd ~ && rm -rf temp_extract
 </code>
