The README file only documents how to install in a development environment, but not how to install systemwide.
Such documentation would have been useful for me to write an 'install' make target (see #433 ) and maybe to also give me an idea why it wasn't provided (maybe there are so many option that's hard to pick one?)

the GNU Coding Standards suggests an INSTALL file:
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Releases

I didn't find a mention of docs/installation.md from the top-level README file, maybe there should be one ?

I'm thinking docs for terminal users, not involving use of a browser

Also, the docs/installation.md is referring to installing a binary package, while what I mean is install from the source, ie: after downloading the source (package or git clone) and getting OFF the network. Instructions to let you build and install the application on the system in these conditions.
