 ## Installation
 
+Maven Central publishing is planned. For now, the package is available via [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/nsv-format/nsv-java/packages), which requires a GitHub account and a personal access token with `read:packages` scope.
+
 ### Maven
 
+Add the repository to your `pom.xml` or `~/.m2/settings.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<repository>
+    <id>github</id>
+    <url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/nsv-format/nsv-java</url>
+</repository>

+
+Then add the dependency:

 ```xml
