-Please see our **[[https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.04746|arXiv article]]** for further details on the algorithms.
+Our **[[https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.04746|arXiv paper]]** describes the algorithm and contains many details as well as examples. Please cite this reference in your papers if you are using mptopcom.
 ===== Prerequisites =====
-You need to have **[[https://www.open-mpi.org/|open-mpi]]** and **[[https://polymake.org/doku.php|polymake]]** version at least 3.2 installed. In particular, you need the **[[https://polymake.org/doku.php/reference/callable|polymake callable library]]**, which might not be installed by the package manager of your distribution. Furthermore, you need an installation of **[[https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/fukudak/cdd_home/|cdd]]**, the bundled version coming with polymake does not build the cdd library.
+Please read this very carefully! mptopcom is highly optimized software dedicated to exceptionally large enumerations on suitable hardware. As a consequence it depends on a number of up-to-date-versions of other software, and the installation requires some diligence.
+You need to have **[[https://www.open-mpi.org/|open-mpi]]** or some other mpi implementation and **[[https://polymake.org/doku.php|polymake]]** version at least 3.2 installed. In particular, you need the **[[https://polymake.org/doku.php/reference/callable|polymake callable library]]**, which might not be installed by the package manager of your distribution. Furthermore, you need an installation of **[[https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/fukudak/cdd_home/|cdd]]**, the bundled version coming with polymake does not build the cdd library.
 **mptopcom** has been tested with several versions, at least 5.3.0, of gcc and clang, at least version 3.8.0. For MPI we have tested openmpi at least version 1.4.1 and Intel MPI 20150128.
