+# MBetter USB Creator - Build Instructions
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Linux:
+```bash
+# Install Python and Qt dependencies
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-pyqt6 genisoimage
+
+# Install Python dependencies
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Windows:
+```cmd
+# Install Python 3.9+ from python.org
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Install 7-zip (required for ISO extraction)
+# Download from: https://www.7-zip.org/
+```
+
+## Building Standalone Executable
+
+### Automatic Build:
+```bash
+# Run the build script (installs deps and builds)
+python3 build_usb_creator.py
+```
+
+### Manual Build:
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Build executable
+pyinstaller --clean usb_creator.spec
+```
+
+## Running
+
+### From Source:
+```bash
+# Linux (requires sudo)
+sudo python3 usb_creator_gui.py
+
+# Windows (run as Administrator)
+python usb_creator_gui.py
+```
+
+### Standalone Executable:
+```bash
+# Linux
+sudo ./dist/MBetterUSBCreator
+
+# Windows
+# Right-click → Run as Administrator
+dist\MBetterUSBCreator.exe
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- ✓ Cross-platform (Linux/Windows)
+- ✓ ISO file selection and validation
+- ✓ USB device auto-detection
+- ✓ Optional root password configuration
+- ✓ Optional OpenVPN config integration
+- ✓ Progress indicators and logging
+- ✓ Safe USB device selection (prevents system disk selection)
+- ✓ Standalone executable (no Python installation required)
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Select ISO**: Browse for your MBetter ISO file
+2. **Choose USB**: Select target USB device from dropdown
+3. **Configure Password** (Optional): Set custom root password for installed system
+4. **Add VPN Config** (Optional): Include OpenVPN configuration files
+5. **Create USB**: Click to start the USB creation process
