 If you are installing from source, you will need:
 - Python 3.8 or later (for Linux, Python 3.8.1+ is needed)
-- A compiler that fully supports C++17, such as clang or gcc (gcc 9.4.0 or newer is required)

+- Visual Studio or Visual Studio Build Tool on Windows
 
-We highly recommend installing an [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/download) environment. You will get a high-quality BLAS library (MKL) and you get controlled dependency versions regardless of your Linux distro.
