 ### Installing the complete ROSCO Toolbox
 In order to fully leverage the controller tuning capabilities, [WISDEM](https://github.com/WISDEM/WISDEM) is used. This is made available through installation via [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/). If you do not already have Anaconda installed on your machine, it is recommended that you install it to install WISDEM. Alternatively, you can install wisdem following the ``for developer'' instructions on the WISDEM home page and skip to step 2 here.
 
-If you do not have WISDEM or the ROSCO toolbox installed and would like to install WISDEM, the ROSCO toolbox, and compile the controller on your unix machine please do the following: open your terminal, navigate to the folder of your choosing, and copy and paste the below text into the command line. This code block is broken up in a piece-wise description in the following sections.

 Note that if you do choose to install the ROSCO Toolbox this way, you will not have the source code. Additionally, you will need to download WISDEM and the ROSCO controller separately if you wish to use any of the ROSCO toolbox functionalities that need those software packages. 
 
 #### Compiling ROSCO
-The controller itself is installed as a submodule in the ROSCO toolbox. For further information on compiling and running ROSCO itself, especially if you are on a Windows machine, we point you to the [ROSCO github page](https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO_toolbox.git). If you wish to re-compile the ROSOCO toolbox, cmake provides easy to compiling on Unix based systems. In order to compile the controller, you should run the following commands from the ROSCO_toolbox folder.
