+# Note
+
+MultiMC is a portable application and is not supposed to be installed into any system folders.
+That would be anything outside your home folder. Before runing `make install`, make sure
+you set the install path to something you have write access to. Never build this under
+an administrator/root level account. Don't use `sudo`. It won't work and it's not supposed to work.
+
 # Linux
 
 Getting the project to build and run on Linux is easy if you use Ubuntu 13.10 (or 13.04) and Qt's IDE, Qt Creator.
