 ## VELOC API
 
-This implementation of VELOC software is based on VELOC API (version 0.4 currently).The VELOC API can be obtained from the https://xgitlab.cels.anl.gov/ecp-veloc/Veloc-Documentation.git

 ## Project Setup
 
-Current VELOC software (veloc-0.5) implements the VELOC API in the VELOC client layer library and for now uses SCR as the VELOC backend. The software has scripts in place to download and builds the current version SCR.

 Note that currently, SCR requires the PDSH library.
 To automatically download and build PDSH as part of the CMake build, use the option `-DBUILD_PDSH=ON` when configuring CMake.
