+Each release should have a subset of the medley repo in a file
+     `medley-`releasename`.tgz`
+
+and at least one
+     `maiko-`releasename`.`osname`.`arch`.tgz`
+   
+e.g.,
+	 `maiko-v3.5.1.6.linux.x86_64.tgz`
+
+for each os/arch pair for which we have GitHub "action" runners.
+
+To use (from a shell/terminal window):
+
+1. Unpack the medley tar file
+  ```
+  tar -xvfz medley-v3.5.1.6.tgz
+  ```
+  and the maiko file for your os.arch
+  ```
+  tar -xvfz maiko-v3.5.1.6.linux.x86_64.tgz
+  ```
+  this should leave you with two new directories, `medley` and `maiko`.
+  Then you can 
+   ```
+   cd medley
+   ./run-medley -full
+   ```
+
