 Pretty much the same as FreeBSD, just follow the toolchain's `README.md` files 
 instructions.
 
+First download the tar.gz file from the link in the requirements(Xpack).
+
+Once you've downloaded the latest release extract the archive into it's own
+file.
+
+You should then move the contents into a new directory like so.
+
+```sh
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/riscv
+tar -xvzf ./xpack<name_here>
+sudo mv ./xpack<name_here>/* /opt/riscv/
+```
+
+You will also need to add the location to your path so it's picked up in your
+terminal.
+
+```sh
+# Appends the new location on to the existing path variable.
+echo "export PATH=/opt/riscv/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
+
+# Sources the bashrc(config file) to update current terminal session.
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+```
+
+After following the above steps you should now have a working RISC-V toolchain
+that can be used for development.
