+Build from source on old distributions
+-----------------------------------------

+If your linux distribution doesn't come with a C++11 compiler (gcc>4.8) then 
+it's possible to install a newer gcc using conda and build the slsDetectorPackage
+using this compiler
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    #Create an environment with the dependencies
+    conda create -n myenv gxx_linux-64 cmake zmq
+    conda activate myenv
