-
-:ref:`conda pre-built binaries`: 
-Install pre-built binaries for the C++ client, receiver, GUI and the Python API (``slsdet``), simplifying setup across platforms.
-
-:ref:`pip`:
-Install only the Python extension module, either by downloading the pre-built library from PyPI or by building the extension locally from source. Available only from v9.2.0 onwards.
-
-:ref:`build from source`: 
-Compile the entire package yourself, including both the C++ core and the Python bindings, for maximum control and customization. However, make sure that you have the :doc:`dependencies <../dependencies>` installed. If installing using conda, conda will manage the dependencies. Avoid installing packages with pip and conda simultaneously.

+Receiver processes can be run on same or different machines as the client, receives the data from the detector (via UDP packets).

-
-The receiver essentially listens to UDP data packets sent out by the detector. It's main features are:
-
-- **Listening**: Receives UDP data from the detector.
-- **Writing to File**: Optionally writes received data to disk.
-- **Streaming via ZMQ**: Optionally streams out the data using ZeroMQ.

-Each of these operations runs asynchronously and in parallel for each UDP port.

-    * Can be run on the same or different machine as the client.
-    * Can be configured by the client. (set file name/ discard policy, get progress etc.)

-* **rx_hostname** has to be the first command to the receiver so the client knows which receiver process to communicate with.
