## Downloading/Compiling ROSCO
The easiest way to get the most recent version release of ROSCO is to download it from the [tagged releases](https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO/tags) page. If you wish to download ROSCO using [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/) or compile ROSCO yourself, please follow the instruction [here](https://rosco-toolbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/install.html#compiling-rosco). Compiling ROSCO will be necessary if you wish to use any version of ROSCO that is not a tagged release. Finally, you can download the most recent version of ROSCO using

## Running ROSCO
A few files are needed to run ROSCO. Of course, the compiled binary, named `libdiscon.*` by default, is needed. This should be appropriately pointed to by your ServoDyn input file (for OpenFAST). In addition to the binary, a controller input file title DISCON.IN is necessary. Three example input files are provided for the NREL 5MW, DTU 10MW, and IEA 15MW wind turbine controllers in the [parameter_files](parameter_files) folder. Note that DISCON.IN (or similar) is pointed to by the `DLL_InFile` parameter in ServoDyn. For generic controller tuning methods, and an automated writing of this DISCON.IN file, we point you to the complete [ROSCO_toolbox](https://github.com/nrel/rosco_toolbox).

Primary contributions to ROSCO have been provided by researchers the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Nikhar J. Abbas, Daniel Zalkind, Alan Wright, and Paul Fleming), Delft University of Technology (Sebastiaan Mulders and Jan-Willem van Wingerden), and the University of Colorado Boulder (Lucy Pao). Much of the intellect behind these contributions has been inspired or derived from an extensive amount of work in the literature. The bulk of this has been cited through the primary publications about this work.

There are also some specific acknowledgements we would like to communicate:
* The setpoint smoothing regime implemented through the ROSCO controller was contributed by sowento GmbH.
