# Installing Exim BuildFarm Client
-So you want to give back to the Exim project but don't know how? Being a member of the Exim BuildFarm is one way you can help. If your distro and version is not on the list that is currently being built, or if your build configuration is drastically different than others with your distro and version, then please consider submitting a request to join the farm. I would also like to point out that the Debian project has excellent Exim coverage on Experimental their [Build Farm](https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=exim4&suite=experimental). We're not discouraging you from joining the Exim BuildFarm if you're Debian or Debian derivative, but merely want to acknowledge the excellent job the Debian project already does with it.

This Installation page works on the assumption that you have already submitted your [Exim BuildFarm Application](http://eximbuild.mrball.net/cgi-bin/register-form.pl) and the BuildFarm administration has sent you an email with your machine alias (aka _animal_) and secret password, which you will enter in step 9 below. If you just want to run the build farm client and never submit the results, you call simply run everything with the --test option and it will still work. If you ever run it without --test, it will still work, but the server will reject the feedback because it's from an unknown _animal_.
