+* archive name must be in the format $(name)-$(version).tar.gz
+and directory within it must be named as $(name)-$(version) <br>
+* filename of the .spec file must be exactly as a package name, do not change it <br>
+* do not run `rpmdev-setuptree` and `rpmbuild` as a root user <br>

+<i>To prepare</i> your environment for building .rpm package do the following: <br>
+1. install instruments: <br>
+`sudo yum install epel-release rpmdevtools yum-utils` <br>
+2. create directory hierarchy for rpm (this will create directory ~/rpmbuild with the subdirectories BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS): <br>
+`rpmdev-setuptree` <br>
+3. place `bench.spec` into ~/rpmbuild/SPECS <br>
+4. place  `bench-0.92.tar.gz` into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES <br>
+5. install all required for .rpm building dependencies: <br>
+`yum-builddep ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bench.spec`
+<br>
+
+<i>To build</i> .rpm package run: <br>
+`rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bench.spec` <br>
+The resulting .rpm will be in `~/rpmbuild/RPMS/` and .srpm in `~/rpmbuild/SRPMS`
+
+<i>To install</i> .rpm package run: <br>
+`sudo yum localinstall path/to/rpm/package` <br>
