 After completing the build, the binaries are available in the `cmake_targets/ran_build/build` directory. A copy is also available in the `target/bin` directory, with all binaries suffixed by the 3GPP release number, today .Rel15.
 
+When installing the pre-requisites, especially the `UHD` driver, you can now specify if you want to install from source or not.

+- For `fedora`-based OS, it was already the case all the time. But now you can specify which version to install.
+- For `ubuntu` OS, the Ettus PPA currently installs the following versions:
+  * `Ubuntu16.04`: --> version `3.15.0.0`
+  * `Ubuntu18.04`: --> version `4.1.0.0`

+```bash
