-### NumPy version >= 1.24 and installing from source
-
-NumPy version 1.24.0 introduced a bug that caused the wrapper to Fortran arrays, that is created on install, to have the wrong dimensions in some cases. This bug was fixed in version 1.24.3. However, this newer version of NumPy requires code changes in **pySCHED** that in turn only work for NumPy version >= 1.24.
-
-Since NumPy version >= 1.24.3 is not ubiquitous available yet, we have chosen to make the default install of **pySCHED** require a version < 1.24. If you wish to use **pySCHED** with NumPy >= 1.24.3, you can do so by installing **pySCHED** from source. To do this, clone the **pySCHED** repository, checkout the `numpy-1.24.3` branch and run the install setup command:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/jive-vlbi/sched.git pySCHED
-cd pySCHED
-git checkout numpy-1.24.3
-pip install .
-```
-
-Notice the changed `pip install` command. If the `pySCHED.yaml` file is used to create a conda environment, remove these lines from the file:
-```bash
-  - pip:
-    - pythonSCHED
-```
-adapt the NumPy version requirement as desired and run the `pip install .` command after activating the pySCHED conda environment.
