I´m in the same case. I have read the documentation but i haven´t found anything. There are some guys that modify the makefile for linux version, but they do for version 3.5.1. > [@Build / Package my version of Mattermost for Linux only](https://forum.mattermost.com/t/build-package-my-version-of-mattermost-for-linux-only/2675): > > Hello, I’m running Mattermost 3.5.1 on an Amazon EC2 instance and I have made some modifications on Mattermost source code (locally, not in the EC2 instance) in order to send usage statistics to New Relic. I tested my version using make run and everything goes fine (it works as expected), but now I want to build / package this source code to replace the code running on my EC2 instance. In short: seems to me that I just need to replace /opt/mattermost/bin/platform file, is it correct? If so, I … Anybody know the official way for version 5? ---

Hi @amy.blais, But if I understood well this is the way to install in a development environment with docker. But if I want to install in a production server, is the same way? I think the mattermost-server project should have a way to compile as a dist. I found a folder in this path mattermost-server/dist/mattermost that I think is what I want but I´m not sure. The only strange thing is the platform folder is empty and it shouldn´t. Thanks a lot!!! ---

Hi @raul03ma! Thank you for your question. Would you like to join our [Peer-to-peer Help channel](https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core/channels/peer-to-peer-help) in our [build server](https://pre-release.mattermost.com/signup_user_complete/?id=f1924a8db44ff3bb41c96424cdc20676) to see if other community members would have ideas? A lot of people in the community compile it themselves and they should have some ideas on how you can proceed. ---

@raul03ma - One community member just shared an example of how he is packaging Mattermost for Arch Linux: [https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=mattermost](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=mattermost) ! I originally posted about this in [Developer Toolkit channel](https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core/pl/sejiocuxstdk7npdjmuoh6abhh), so you can follow that thread for any other ideas that people might share. ---
