-MUSIC is a computer program to generate nested grid initial conditions for
-high-resolution "zoom" cosmological simulations. A detailed description
-of the algorithms can be found in [Hahn & Abel (2011)][1]. You can

+MUSIC is a computer program to generate nested grid initial conditions for high-resolution "zoom" cosmological simulations. A detailed description of some of the algorithms can be found in [Hahn & Abel (2011)](http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.6031), but version 2.0 is much improved and has a much lower memory footprint. To learn how to use MUSIC, please [read the Wiki](https://github.com/cosmo-sims/music/wiki). 
 
 Current MUSIC key features are:
 
-- Supports output for RAMSES, ENZO, Arepo, Gadget-2/3, ART, Pkdgrav/Gasoline 
-and NyX via plugins. New codes can be added.
+- Supports output for RAMSES, ENZO, Arepo, Gadget-2/3, ART, Pkdgrav/Gasoline and NyX via plugins. New codes can be added.
 
-- Support for first (1LPT) and second order (2LPT) Lagrangian perturbation 
-theory, local Lagrangian approximation (LLA) for baryons with grid codes.
+- Support for first (1LPT) and second order (2LPT) Lagrangian perturbation theory.
 
-- Pluggable transfer functions, currently CAMB, Eisenstein&Hu, BBKS, Warm 
-Dark Matter variants. Distinct baryon+CDM fields.

-- Minimum bounding ellipsoid and convex hull shaped high-res regions supported 
-with most codes, supports refinement mask generation for RAMSES.

 - Parallelized with OpenMP
     
-- Requires FFTW (v2 or v3), GSL (and HDF5 for output for some codes)

 ## Building MUSIC
-While we still supply the old Makefile, using CMake is now the preferred way of building. 
-CMake use out-of-source build, i.e. you create a build directory, and then configure the code using CMake. Inside the `music` directory, do

 ```

 ```
 If you want to build on macOS, then it is strongly recommended to use GNU (or Intel) compilers instead of Apple's Clang. Install them e.g. via homebrew and then configure cmake to use them instead of the macOS default compiler via
 ```
-  CC=gcc-9 CXX=g++-9 ccmake ..
+  CC=gcc-13 CXX=g++-13 ccmake ..
 ```
 This is necessary since Apple's compilers haven't supported OpenMP for years.
 
 
 ## Running

-There is an example parameter file 'example.conf' in the main directory. Possible options are explained in it, it can be run
-as a simple argument, e.g. from within the build directory:
