-The ISIS Python-based instrument control and scripting library.
+Instrument control and scripting library at the ISIS Neutron & Muon source.
 
-## Instrument initialisation
+---
 
-By default when setting an instrument the init_default.py file is loaded. 
-This file checks for the existence of a folder called C:\Instrument\Settings\config\NDX%INSTNAME%\Python and adds this to the sys path if it does.
-If this path exists and contains a file called init_%INSTNAME%.py, it will load it too.
+Documentation: https://isiscomputinggroup.github.io/genie/genie_python
 
-On the NDX any files in C:\Instrument\Settings\config\NDX%INSTNAME%\Python can be added to SVN for safe keeping.
+Source: https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/genie
 
-Python modules can be imported directly from the C:\Instrument\Settings\config\NDX%INSTNAME%\Python directory. If running on a client it is necessary to have a copy of the Python directory for the instrument being connected to in the correct location.
-
-Folders inside the Python directory must have a `__init__.py` file for them to be available to be imported.
-
-## Start-up
-The line "from genie_python import *" in genie_startup is responsible for loading all the genie_python stuff!
-This file also contains code for disabling quickedit and for making genie_python guess the instrument name.
-
-As genie_python is running inside IPython we use c.TerminalIPythonApp.exec_files to run genie_start.py, so everything is imported correctly.
