 # Script runs well with FPM 1.14.2 on ruby 2.7.1, setuptools 51.3.3 on RHEL and Deb platforms
+
 # Download ruby (if you're locked to 2.5, use RVM) and then run:
 # sudo gem install fpm -v 1.14.2
+# (may need to be run without the 'sudo')
+
 # for RPM builds, you will also need:
-# sudo yum install rpm-build | sudo apt-get install rpm
+# sudo yum install rpm-build rpmlint | sudo apt-get install rpm lintian
 # ./ssm-build.sh (deb | rpm) <version> <iteration> <python_root_dir>
 # e.g.
 # ./ssm-build.sh deb 3.4.0 1 /usr/lib/python3.6
