-##### Recent Versions
 
-15-December-2017 (v1.0.20171215)
- - Updated [dcm2niix](https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix).
 
-14-July-2017
- - [Display/Radiological menuitem](https://www.nitrc.org/forum/message.php?msg_id=21719) flips between neurological and radiological convention. The "L" and "R" symbols change in the "2D Slices" panel to remind user of current setting. Slices coordinates reflect MNI space (e.g. left side of brain is negative regardless of viewing convention). Rendering view not influenced: radiological view assumes camera is anterior/inferior to object for coronal/sagittal views while neurological assumes camera is posterior/superior.
- - Preference window allows user to select between fonts installed in the LUT folder, and create their own fonts using [Hiero](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Distance-field-fonts).
+##### Installation

-##### Installation and Compiling
-
-The easiest way to install MRIcroGL is to get pre-compiled binaries from [NITRC (macOS, Linux and Windows)](https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mricrogl/). You can also compile a copy yourself. Instructions are available on the [MRIcroGL website](http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricrogl/source). In brief, you need to install FreePascal and Lazarus. You also have to [install](http://wiki.freepascal.org/Install_Packages) the "LazOpenGL" package into Lazarus. Finally you need to compile the application. On most systems this is as simple as running the following from the terminal command line: `lazbuild ./simplelaz.lpr`. This will compile to the default widgetset for your operating system (Windows: WinAPI; macOS: Carbon; Linux: GTK2). You can also compile to other widgetsets (e.g. QT, Cocoa), but that is beyond the scope of these instructions.
-
-To use the Python scripting language you will need to install [Python-for-Lazarus](https://github.com/Alexey-T/Python-for-Lazarus) in your build of Lazarus. If you do not want to do this, comment the line "{$DEFINE MYPY}" in the file "opts.inc" and remove the dependency in the Project/ProjectInspector window.
-
-
-A basic command line script for ensuring the required packages are installed and compiling this software would look like this (assuming you are using a Linux or macOS computer).
+##### Compiling
 
+Most users will want to use the pre-compiled executable (see the previous section). However, you can compile this yourself. Lazarus 2.0 or later is recommended.
