 ## Windows users 
-The package currently does not work on windows, mainly because `MicrosoftMPI_jll` does not function when used along with the precompiled version used in `PETSc_jll`. Windows users are therefore advised to install the Windows Subshell for Linux (WSL) and run PETSc through there.

 ## Getting started
 The documentation is currently rather minimalistic; yet, if you want to see what is possible have a look at the [examples](./examples/) directory or at the tests in the [test](./test) directory. We do keep the tests up to date, so that is a good starting point.
