-## Contents
+We recommend downloading one of our [releases](https://github.com/miac-research/psmd/releases) (for a new project, take the latest release). It is best practice to stick with one release in a given project. For even better replicability and traceability, consider using the [container version](https://github.com/miac-research/psmd/tree/main/singularity) of PSMD.
