+# Publishing Guide
+
+This guide explains how to publish a new version of `node-speaker` with prebuilt binaries using GitHub Releases.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **GitHub Access**: You must have push access to the repository and permissions to create releases
+2. **GitHub Token**: The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` is automatically provided by GitHub Actions
+
+## Publishing Process
+
+### 1. Prepare the Release
+
+1. Update the version in `package.json`:
+   ```bash
+   npm version patch  # or minor, or major
+   ```
+
+2. Update `History.md` with the changes in this release
+
+3. Commit the changes:
+   ```bash
+   git add package.json package-lock.json History.md
+   git commit -m "Prepare for vX.Y.Z release"
+   ```
+
+### 2. Create and Push Tag
+
+The prebuild workflow is triggered when you push a tag starting with `v`:
+
+```bash
+git tag v0.5.6  # Use your actual version number
+git push origin master
+git push origin v0.5.6
+```
+
+### 3. Monitor GitHub Actions
+
+1. Go to the [Actions tab](https://github.com/SlvCtrlPlus/node-speaker/actions) on GitHub
+2. Wait for the "Prebuild" workflow to complete
+3. The workflow will:
+   - Build N-API binaries for all supported platforms (6 builds total)
+   - Each binary works across all Node.js 18+ versions thanks to N-API
+   - Upload the binaries as artifacts
+   - Create a GitHub Release with:
+     - Complete package tarball with all prebuilds
+     - Individual `.node` binaries for each platform
+     - Auto-generated release notes
+
+### 4. Verify Publication
+
+1. Check that the release was created:
+   - Go to [Releases](https://github.com/SlvCtrlPlus/node-speaker/releases)
+   - Verify the new version is listed
+   - Check that all prebuilt binaries are attached
+
+2. Test installation from GitHub:
+   ```bash
+   # Install from GitHub release
+   npm install https://github.com/SlvCtrlPlus/node-speaker/releases/download/v0.5.6/speaker-v0.5.6.tgz
+   
+   # Or install from git tag
+   npm install github:SlvCtrlPlus/node-speaker#v0.5.6
+   ```
+
+## Manual Prebuild (Testing)
+
+To test the prebuild process locally before publishing:
+
+### Single Platform
+
+Build for your current platform:
+
+```bash
+npm run prebuild
+```
+
+This creates binaries in the `prebuilds/` directory.
+
+### All Platforms (Cross-compilation)
+
+Build for all platforms using Docker:
+
+```bash
+npm run prebuild-all
+```
+
+Note: This requires Docker and can take significant time.
+
+### Test Local Prebuild
+
+After creating local prebuilds, test that they install correctly:
+
+```bash
+# In another directory
+npm install /path/to/node-speaker
+```
+
+The installation should use the prebuilt binary instead of compiling.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Failures
+
+If the GitHub Actions build fails:
+
+1. Check the build logs in the Actions tab
+2. Common issues:
+   - Missing dependencies on specific platforms
+   - Node version compatibility
+   - Architecture-specific compilation issues
+
+### GitHub Release Failures
+
+If creating the GitHub Release fails:
+
+1. Verify repository has "Read and write permissions" for workflows:
+   - Go to Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions
+   - Select "Read and write permissions"
+2. Check that the tag was pushed correctly
+3. Ensure no release already exists for that tag
+
+### Prebuilds Not Found During Installation
+
+If users report compilation from source when prebuilds should exist:
+
+1. Verify prebuilds exist in the GitHub Release assets
+2. Check that the platform/Node version is supported
+3. Ensure users are installing from the release tarball, not directly from git
+4. For git installations, prebuilds must be committed or users need to build from source
+
+## Security
+
+- The `GITHUB_TOKEN` is automatically provided by GitHub Actions
+- No manual token configuration needed for GitHub Releases
+- Limit repository write access to trusted maintainers
+- Review workflow permissions regularly
+
+## Optional: Publishing to npm
+
+If you later decide to also publish to npm, you can:
+
+1. Add `NPM_TOKEN` to GitHub Actions secrets
+2. Uncomment the npm publish step in `.github/workflows/prebuild.yml`
+3. Follow the standard npm publishing process
+
+## Support
+
+For issues with the publishing process:
+
+1. Check existing GitHub Issues
+2. Review the [RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md](RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md)
+3. Contact the package maintainers

 ## Installation
 
+### From npm
+
 Simply compile and install `node-speaker` using `npm`:
 
 ```sh
 npm install speaker
 ```
 
+### From GitHub Releases (with prebuilt binaries)
+
+Install a specific release from GitHub:
+
+```sh
+npm install https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/node-speaker/releases/download/v0.5.6/speaker-v0.5.6.tgz
+```
+
+Or install from a git tag:
+
+```sh
+npm install github:YOUR_USERNAME/node-speaker#v0.5.6
+```
+
+### Platform Requirements
+
 On Debian/Ubuntu, the [ALSA][alsa] backend is selected by default, so be sure
 to have the `alsa.h` header file in place:
