+# Installing the Binder Daemon
+
+The Application Framework Binder Daemon (`afb-daemon`), which is a part of
+the AGL Application Framework, provides a way to connect applications to
+required services.\
+It provides a fast way to securely offer APIs to applications that are
+written in any language and that can run almost anywhere.
+
+You can learn more about the AGL Application Framework in the
+"[AGL Framework Overview](../../apis_services/reference/af-main/0-introduction.html)"
+section.\
+You can learn more about the `aft-daemon` in the
+"[Binder Overview](../../apis_services/reference/af-binder/afb-overview.html)"
+section.
+
+## Installing on Debian
+
+Use the following commands if your native Linux machine uses the Debian
+distribution:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install agl-app-framework-binder-dev
+```
+
+## Installing on OpenSUSE
+
+Use the following commands if your native Linux machine uses the OpenSUSE
+distribution:
+
+```bash
+sudo zypper install agl-app-framework-binder-devel
+```
+
+## Installing on Fedora
+
+Use the following commands if your native Linux machine uses the Fedora
+distribution:
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install agl-app-framework-binder-devel
+```
+
+## Setting Your Environment Variables
+
+Regardless of your system's distribution, you need to set certain environment
+variables correctly in order to use the daemon (i.e. `app-framework-binder`).
+
+Commands that define and export these environment variables exist in the
+`agl-app-framework-binder.sh` file, which is created when
+you install the daemon:
+
+```bash
+#----------  AGL %{name} options Start ---------"
+# Object: AGL cmake option for  binder/bindings
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AGL/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
+export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AGL/lib64:${LIBRARY_PATH}
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/AGL/lib64/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
+export PATH=/opt/AGL/bin:$PATH
+#----------  AGL options End ---------
+```
+
+You can make sure these environment variables are correctly set by doing
+one of the following:
+
+* **Logout and Log Back In:**
+
+  Logging out and then logging back in correctly sets the environment
+  variables.
+
+* **Manually Source the `agl-app-framework-binder.sh` File:**
+
+  Source the following command:
+
+  ```bash
+  source /etc/profile.d/agl-app-framework-binder.sh
+  ```
+
+  **NOTE:**
+  Creating a new session automatically sources the `agl-app-framework-binder.sh`
+  file.
