-### For contributors
-
-Developers are expected to fork and clone this repository, and install their copy in development mode.
-Using a virtual environment is highly recommended.
-
-```shell
-# Clone the repository:
-git clone https://github.com/<user>/pelicun
-cd pelicun
-# Switch to the appropriate branch, if needed.
-# git checkout <branch>
-
-# Install pelicun:
-# Note: don't forget to activate the corresponding environment.
-python -m pip install -e .[development]
-
-```
-
-Contributions are managed with pull requests.
-It is required that contributed code is [PEP 8](https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/) compliant, does not introduce linter warnings and includes sufficient unit tests so as to avoid reducing the current coverage level.
-
-The following lines implement the aforementioned checks.
-`flake8`, `pylint` and `pytest` can all be configured for use within an IDE.
-```shell
-
-cd <path-to>/pelicun
-export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)
-
-# Linting with flake8:
-flake8 pelicun
-
-# Linting with pylint:
-pylint pelicun
-
-# Type checking with mypy:
-mypy pelicun --no-namespace-packages
-
-# Running the tests:
-python -m pytest pelicun/tests --cov=pelicun --cov-report html
-# Open `htmlcov/index.html`in a browser to see coverage results.

    We recommend creating a dedicated `virtual environment <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>`_ for your pelicun development environment.
    See also `conda <https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/>`_ and `mamba <https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_, two widely used programs featuring environment management.
 
+Clone the repository::

+Pelicun uses the SimCenter `DamageAndLossModelLibrary <https://github.com/NHERI-SimCenter/DamageAndLossModelLibrary>`_ as a submodule.
+In the above, ``recurse-submodules`` ensures that all files of that repository are also obtained.
