For more information, check out our [documentation](https://bifacial-radiance.readthedocs.io), \n[Tutorials in the form of Jupyter Notebooks](docs/tutorials/), or reffer to our [Wiki](https://github.com/NREL/bifacial_radiance/wiki)\nand [Issues](https://github.com/NREL/bifacial_radiance/issues) page.\n\n## Installation\n\nhttps://youtu.be/4A9GocfHKyM\nThis video shows how to install the bifacial_radiance software and all associated software needed. More info on the Wiki. Instructions are also shown below.\n\nFor detailed instructions of how to install bifacial_radiance, you can also refer to the [installation guide](https://bifacial-radiance.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html)\n\n## New: GUI! \n\nA GUI has been added in version 3.0. The GUI reads/writes all input parameters necessary to run a simulation, and runs the specified simulation by calling the correct functions with the specified parameters. So no need to use a journal or a script! But you still need to install following the procedure below. \n\nTo run the gui, import bifacial_radiance and run bifacial_radiance.gui()\n\n![GUI](docs/images_wiki/bifacial_radiance_GUI.png)\n\n\n## Usage\n\nCheck out the [Jupyter Tutorial Notebooks](docs/tutorials/) to see detailed examples of the capacities of bifacial_radiance.\nThe [Intro examples](https://bifacial-radiance.readthedocs.io/en/stable/introexamples.html) and the [readthedocs documentation](https://bifacial-radiance.readthedocs.io) also provide a good starting point.\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe need your help to make bifacial_radiance a great tool! Please see the [Contributing page](https://bifacial-radiance.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contributing.html) for more on how you can contribute. The long-term success of pvlib-python requires substantial community support.\n\n## License\n\nBifacial_radiance open source code is copyrighted by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy and licensed with BSD-3-Clause terms, found [here](https://github.com/NREL/bifacial_radiance/blob/master/LICENSE).\n\n## Getting Support\n\nIf you suspect that you may have discovered a bug or if you'd like to\nchange something about pvlib, then please make an issue on our\n[GitHub issues page](https://github.com/NREL/bifacial_radiance/issues).\n\nbifacial_radiance questions can be asked on\n[Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com) and tagged with\nthe [bifacial_radiance](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bifacial_radiance) tag.\n\nThe [bifacial-radiance google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bifacial_radiance) \nhas just started, and will be used for discussing various topics of interest to the bifacial-radiance\ncommunity. We also make new version announcements on the google group.\n\n## Citing\n\nIf you use bifacial_radiance in a published work, please cite:\n\n Deline, Chris, Marion, William, and Ayala, Silvana.
