Hi there,

thanks a lot for contributing to ipmi-exporter. I always appreciate beefing up the documentation, however the way to install FreeIPMI is highly distribution-specific. For example, the instructions as give here will not work on my Arch Linux system (there is no apt). Also, people might want to use the FreeIPMI as packaged by their distribution as opposed to compiling it themselves. In short, there are many ways, and it is outside the scope of the exporter documentation. Such documentation should be with the distribution (for packages) or with FreeIPMI (for compilation).

I hope you understand!
