+The following step by step tutorial will guide you through the installation process of SHARPy. This is the updated process valid from v2.2.
 
 ## Requirements
 
 __Operating System Requirements__
 
 SHARPy is being developed and tested on the following operating systems:
 * CentOS 7 and CentOS 8
-* Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
-* Debian 10
+* Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+* Debian 12
 * MacOS Mojave and Catalina (Intel)
 * MacOS Sonoma (Apple Silicon M2)
 
 Windows users can also run it by first installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and a XServer such as GWSL, which can be installed through the Microsoft Store. SHARPy is also available to the vast majority of operating systems that are supported by Docker
 
 __Required Distributions__
 
-* Anaconda Python 3.10
-* GCC 6.0 or higher (recommended). C++ and Fortran.
+* Python 3.10 or higher
+* CMake
+* GCC 6.0 or higher, G++, GFortran (all included in Anaconda) 
+* Eigen3, BLAS, MKL/LAPACK (all included in Anaconda)
+
+If the prerequisite packages are not installed and you are not using Anaconda, they can be installed as following on Linux (with a Homebrew equivelent available for Mac installs):
+```bash
+sudo apt install -y cmake g++ gfortran libblas-dev liblapack-dev libeigen3-dev

+### Quick install (Standalone)
+
+SHARPy can be installed as a standalone package, without the use of a package manager. If you wish to install using the Anaconda package manager, please use the following tutorial [HERE](#setting-up-the-python-environment-anaconda), or make a custom installation with a develop build or modified compilation settings [HERE](#custom-installation). The quick install is geared towards getting the release build of SHARPy running as quickly and simply as possible. 
+
+1. Check that your Python version is 3.10 or higher. Other versions may be incompatible with the required modules.
+    ```bash
+    python --version

+    ```bash
