+**Alternative: Pin to Specific Version (Recommended for Production)**
+
+If you prefer to pin to a specific version for stability, replace the dynamic download with:
+
+```bash
+cd ~
+VERSION="v6.3.1"  # Pin to specific version
+wget https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/releases/download/${VERSION}/forgejo-runner-${VERSION#v}-linux-amd64
+chmod +x forgejo-runner-${VERSION#v}-linux-amd64
+sudo mv forgejo-runner-${VERSION#v}-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/forgejo-runner
+```
+
+**What this does**: 
+- **Dynamic approach**: Downloads the latest stable Forgejo Actions runner
+- **Version pinning**: Allows you to specify a known-good version for production
+- **Makes the binary executable** and installs it system-wide for use by the SERVICE_USER
+
+**Production Recommendation**: Use version pinning in production environments to ensure consistency and avoid unexpected breaking changes.
