| _Hint:_ If you are unsure which cuda version to indicate in above `pip install .. /cuXXX` command, you can use the shell command `nvidia-smi` on your local system to find out the cuda version supported by the current graphics driver installed on your system. When then generating the `pip install` command with the wizard from the [PyTorch website](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/), select the cuda version that matches the major version of what your graphics driver supports (major version must match, minor version may deviate). | |||

| > Note: We use conan for building the FMU. For the conan building to work later on, you will need the Visual Studio Build tools 2022 to be installed. It is best to do this **before** installing conan (which we install via pip install of requirements). You can download and install the Build Tools for VS 2022 (for free) from <https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022> | |||

Do we want to make this link look nicer?
If so we can replace <https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022> with [Some text here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022)

I thought about it, but from a cybersecurity perspective, this is just as good, and then folks know where it comes from / where to navigate to (in case the url changes). It is not the ugliest URL with lots of redirects and things.

Should we use this type of URL other places in the README as well then?

Good question. As long as URLs are not crazy, I would just show the full one. What do you think?
And @Jorgelmh ?

Yeah, I guess it's safer to show the full URL
