-First barebone project for Calypso based on Athena master. Only packages not included in atlas/athena are included. The current build relies on the entire ATLAS software library. 
+Calypso is the FASER offline software system, based on the ATLAS Athena and LHCb GAUDI frameworks
 
-The following sequence will allow you to compile Calypso 1.0.0 on any machine with cvmfs access.
+Start by creating a personal fork of https://gitlab.cern.ch/faser/calypso.git (using the gitlab web interface)
+
+Then the following sequence will allow you to compile and run Calypso on any machine with cvmfs access.
