I only put it here because it's where the other build requirements were located, but I guess the entire paragraph should be moved up. I will do that for v2, but while I'm at it, should we really be teaching the user how to find a c++17 compiler? I think we should remove the instructions on downloading GCC from the ftp directory, and shorten the entire paragraph a bit, what do you think? -- Cheers, Guinevere Larsen It/she
