# Uploading builds for distribution

There are few different ways you can upload builds to Runway for distribution using Build Distro. By far the simplest way to get started is to connect a supported CI/CD integration and configure bucket rules to pull artifacts from workflows and branches or PRs of your choosing. You can read more about how to set up bucket rules in the [Configuring bucket rules](/using-runway/build-distro/build-distro-buckets.md#configuring-bucket-rules) section.

Alternative ways you can upload builds to Runway for distribution are:

* **Manual upload:** any user with at least the **Uploader** permission to the bucket can manually upload a valid binary to a bucket that has no rules configured.

* **Build upload via the Runway Public API**: uploading builds programmatically can be achieved using Runway's Public Build Distro API. For more information, visit our [API reference docs](https://api-docs.runway.team/#tag/buildDistro/operation/uploadBucketBuild).
