+## Installing Other Builds/Distributions
+
+The _`install_only_stripped`_ build of each distribution is installed by
+default. See description of distributions/builds
+[here](https://gregoryszorc.com/docs/python-build-standalone/main/running.html#obtaining-distributions).
+However, you can choose to install other distributions/builds. E.g. If
+we use a standard modern Linux x86_64 machine as an example, the default
+distribution is _`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-install_only_stripped`_ and
+the versions for these are installed by default at
+`~/.local/share/pystand/<version>`.
+
+However, let's say you want to experiment with the new free-threaded
+3.13 build. You can install this to a different directory, e.g.
+
+```sh
+$ mkdir ./3.13-freethreaded
+$ cd ./3.13-freethreaded
+
+$ pystand -P. -D x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-freethreaded+lto-full install 3.13
+$ ./3.13/bin/python -V
+Python 3.13.0
+
+$ pystand -P . list
+3.13.0 @ 20241016 distribution="x86_64_v4-unknown-linux-gnu-freethreaded+lto-full"
+```
+
+Note you can set a different default distribution by
+specifying `--distribution` as a [default
+option](#command-default-options).
