+## Manual Build On Other Linux Distributions
+
+Other distributions can use the same modules but may use different package
+names and PHP configuration locations.
+
+The following tools are required:
+
+- PHP CLI and the matching PHP development package
+- `phpize` and `php-config`
+- SWIG
+- CMake
+- Ninja
+- Git
+- A C and C++ compiler
+- Make
+- OpenSSL development headers
+- `pkg-config`
+
+The PHP development package must match the PHP installation that will load the
+modules. For example, an extension built for PHP 8.3 should not be loaded into
+PHP 8.4.
+
+### Fedora, RHEL, Rocky Linux, And AlmaLinux
+
+Package names vary between system repositories and third-party PHP
+repositories, but a typical installation is:
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install \
+  php-cli php-devel \
+  swig cmake ninja-build \
+  gcc gcc-c++ make git pkgconf-pkg-config openssl-devel
+```
+
+### Arch Linux
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S --needed \
+  php swig cmake ninja \
+  base-devel git pkgconf openssl
+```
+
+### Alpine Linux
+
+The exact PHP development package includes the installed PHP version on some
+Alpine releases:
+
+```bash
+sudo apk add \
+  php php-dev \
+  swig cmake ninja \
+  build-base git pkgconf openssl-dev
+```
+
+Confirm the required PHP build commands exist:
+
+```bash
+php --version
+phpize --version
+php-config --version
+swig -version
+```
+
+### Build liboqs
+
+Choose a working directory:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p contractless-php-build
+cd contractless-php-build
+```
+
+Download and compile a minimal liboqs containing the fixed-size Falcon
+algorithm used by Contractless:
+
+```bash
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs.git
+
+cmake -S liboqs -B liboqs/build -GNinja \
+  -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
+  -DOQS_BUILD_ONLY_LIB=ON \
+  -DOQS_MINIMAL_BUILD="SIG_falcon_padded_512"
+
+ninja -C liboqs/build
+```
+
+Do not substitute `Falcon-512`. Contractless requires
+`Falcon-padded-512`, which produces fixed 666-byte signatures.
+
+### Build The Contractless liboqs-php Module
+
+Clone the PHP wrapper:
+
+```bash
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Muzosh/liboqs-php.git
+```
+
+Apply `oqsphp-contractless.patch` from this repository:
+
+```bash
+cd liboqs-php
+git apply /full/path/to/Contractless-PHP-Modules/oqsphp-contractless.patch
+```
+
+Build the PHP extension against the liboqs copy compiled above:
+
+```bash
+LIBOQS_ROOT="$(cd ../liboqs && pwd)" bash build.sh
+cd ..
+```
+
+The resulting module is:
+
+```text
+liboqs-php/build/oqsphp.so
+```
+
+### Build The Skein Module
+
+```bash
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jedisct1/PHP-Skein-Hash.git php-skein
+cd php-skein
+phpize
+./configure
+make
+cd ..
+```
+
+The resulting module is:
+
+```text
+php-skein/modules/skein.so
+```
+
+### Install The Modules Manually
+
+Find the extension directory used by the active PHP installation:
+
+```bash
+php-config --extension-dir
+```
+
+Copy both modules into that directory:
+
+```bash
+sudo install -m 0755 \
+  liboqs-php/build/oqsphp.so \
+  "$(php-config --extension-dir)/oqsphp.so"
+
+sudo install -m 0755 \
+  php-skein/modules/skein.so \
+  "$(php-config --extension-dir)/skein.so"
+```
+
+Find the PHP configuration files:
+
+```bash
+php --ini
+```
+
+Add these lines to the appropriate `php.ini` or extension configuration file:
+
+```ini
+extension=skein.so
+extension=oqsphp.so
+```
+
+CLI PHP, Apache, and PHP-FPM can use different configuration directories. The
+modules must be enabled for every PHP runtime that uses
+`php-contractless-rpc`.
+
+Restart Apache or PHP-FPM after changing its configuration. Service names vary
+by distribution and installed PHP version.
+
+Verify the manual installation:
+
+```bash
+php -m | grep -E '^(skein|oqsphp)$'
+```
+

 Direct Contractless Falcon handling requires the public-key SHAKE256 prefix and
