 Terminal flashcards from Markdown.
 
 ## Installation
-Switch to newest version: `git checkout $(git tag | tail -n 1)`, or use the current development state.
+Lightcards is only tested and maintained on Linux. Support for other Unix-like operating systems such as MacOS and the various BSDs is likely, although untested. Windows support may be possible with [windows-curses](https://pypi.org/project/windows-curses/) or the like, however much of the program makes the assumption that there is a Unix-like file hierarchy, which may break on Windows. Nontrivial patches will not be accepted to improve Windows support, although may be for MacOS or BSD.
 
-`make` to install for the current user, or `make global` to install for the whole system.
+Lightcards requires Python 3.9
