  2. ============
  3. The latest version of GIL can be downloaded from https://github.com/boostorg/gil.
  4. The GIL is a header-only library. Meaning, it consists of header files only,
  5. it does not require Boost to be built and it does not require any libraries
  6. to link against.
  7. .. note::
  8. The exception to dependencies-free rule of GIL is the I/O extension
  9. which requires client libraries implementing popular image formats
  10. like libpng, libjpeg, etc.
  11. In order to use GIL, including ``boost/gil.hpp`` and telling your compiler
  12. where to find Boost and GIL headers should be sufficient for most projects.
