+Operations can be connected flexibly to allow high performance simulation and
+analysis with complex control and data flows. Users can define new operations
+in C++ or Python with the same tool kit used to implement this package.
+
+This Python package requires a compatible GROMACS installation with the API
+libraries and headers.
+
+See http://gmxapi.org/ for details on installation and usage.
