 # Switching a from-source install to OTP releases
+## What are OTP releases?
+OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it, it is easily administered via the provided shell script to open up a remote console, start/stop/restart the release, start in the background, send remote commands, and more.
+### Can I still run the develop branch if I decide to use them?
+Yes, we produce builds for every commit in `develop`. However `develop` is considered unstable, please don't use it in production because of faster access to new features, unless you need them as an app developer.
 ## Why would one want to switch?
 Benefits of OTP releases over from-source installs include:
 * **Less space used.** OTP releases come without source code, build tools, have docs and debug symbols stripped from the compiled bytecode and do not cointain tests, docs, revision history.

 ## Installing the release
+Before proceeding, get the flavour from [Detecting flavour](otp_en.html#detecting-flavour) section in OTP installation guide.
 ```sh
 # Delete all files in pleroma user's directory
 rm -r ~pleroma/*
 
+# Set the flavour environment variable to the string you got in Detecting flavour section.
+# For example if the flavour is `arm64-musl` the command will be

 ## Setting up a system service
 OTP releases have different service files than from-source installs so they need to be copied over again.
 
+**Warning:** The service files assume pleroma user's home directory is `/opt/pleroma`, please make sure all paths fit your installation.
+
 Debian/Ubuntu:
 ```sh
 # Copy the service into a proper directory
 cp ~pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
 
 # Reload service files
-systemctl reload-daemon
+systemctl daemon-reload
 
 # Reenable pleroma to start on boot
 systemctl reenable pleroma
