-# sls_detector: Python interface to slsDetectorPackage
-Python interface to the Sls Detector Software. 
-
-### Documentation ###
-Sphinx built documentation is available here:
-[https://slsdetectorgroup.github.io/sls_detector/](https://slsdetectorgroup.github.io/sls_detector/)
-
-
-### Install using conda ###
-
-Binaries are available using conda. This installs both the detector software and the Python
-interface.
-
-```bash
-#Add conda channels
-conda config --add channels conda-forge
-conda config --add channels slsdetectorgroup
-
-#Install latest version
-conda install sls_detector
-
-#Install specific version
-conda install sls_detector=3.0.1
-
-#Scientific Linux 6 version (GLIBC2.12)
-conda install sls_detector=SL6_3.0.1
-```
-
-### Building using conda-build ###
-
-Needs [sls_detector_software](https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/sls_detector_software) installed.
-
-```bash
-#Clone source code
-git clone https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/sls_detector.git
-
-#Checkout the branch needed
-git checkout 3.0.1
-
-#Build and install the local version
-conda-build sls_detector
-conda install --use-local sls_detector
-
-
-```
-### Developer build ###
-
-IF you if you are developing and are making constant changes to the code it's a bit cumbersome 
-to build with conda and install. Then an easier way is to build the C/C++ parts in the package 
-directory and temporary add this to the path
-
-```bash
-#in path/to/sls_detector  
-python setup.py build_ext --inplace
-```
-Then in your Python script
-```python
-
-import sys
-sys.path.append('/path/to/sls_detector')
-from sls_detector import Detector
-```
