+BornAgain is a software to simulate and fit neutron and x-ray
+reflectometry and scattering at grazing incidence (GISANS and GISAXS),
+using the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA).
+
+This Python wheel contains the BornAgain Python module, which
+is built on top of the BornAgain C++ core. This is all what is
+needed to use BornAgain through its Python API.
+
+If the BornAgain GUI shall also be used, then another installation
+method must be chosen, see the
+[BornAgain installation instructions](https://bornagainproject.org/latest/installation).
