 Other setups likely work as well, but are untested.

 If you want to use the High-Level Synthesis flow for generating custom IP

-* Vivado HLS 2016.2+
+*   Vivado HLS 2016.2+
 
 Check that at least the following are in your `$PATH`:
 
-* `sbt`
-* `vivado`
-* `git`
-* `bash`
-* [`vivado_hls`]
+*   `sbt`
+*   `vivado`
+*   `git`
+*   `bash`
+*   \[`vivado_hls`\]
+
+Install sbt
+-----------
+Installing multiple versions of Java, Scala and tools like sbt can be a hassle.
+[SDKman!](http://sdkman.io/) simplifies the process by managing the
+installations without root requirements. To install sbt, simply
+```
+curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
+```
+Then, run in a new terminal:
+```
+sdk install sbt
+```
+Try if this worked, via
+```
+sbt version
+```
+If `sbt` was successfully installed, it will return its version number.
 
 Basic Setup
 -------------------
-1.  Open a terminal in the main directory of the repository and source the TPC
-    setup script via `. setup.sh`.
-    You need to do this every time you use TPC (or put it into your `~/.bashrc`).
-2.  Build TPC: `sbt compile` (this may take a while, `sbt` needs to fetch all
-    dependencies etc. once).

 2.  Create the necessary jar files with `sbt assembly`.
-4.  Run TPC unit tests: `sbt test`
+4.  Run TaPaSCo unit tests: `sbt test`
 5.  _Optional_: Generate sample configuration file: `tapasco -n config.json`
     TaPaSCo should exit immediately and `config.json` will include a full
     configuration that can be read with `--configFile`, including one example
     for each kind of job.
