-===== Build =====
+  * gcc, g++ (and gfortran)
+  * libxml2 >= 2.7
+  * qt4
+  * libssl >= 0.9.8
+  * proj-4 >= 4.6.1

+  * OPERA BUFR (for WRWP to BUFR conversion)
+===== Basic Installation =====
+==== Caveat ====
+The current release of the ProRad system comes without the bells and whistles
+of GNU automake.  A build script is included in this version, but the
+script will not warn you if libraries are missing.
+==== Build and install ====
+The build script is located in the folder "build-scripts".  You run
+the script in the following way
+  bash build-scripts/build-prorad.sh
+and the script will build the ProRad modules in the correct order.
+Each step in the build script will produce a file named "make.log".
+If a step in the build procedure fails, you will be notified by the
+build-script.  The script will tell you where it failed, and you will
+find more information in the make.log file of that directory/folder.
+After you have run the build script the ProRad modules will be
+installed in the ./bin directory.
+===== Configuration =====
+Please see the file named [[usage|Configuration]] for details on configuring and
+running ProRad.
-A build script is included in the tar file.
