+Avogadro Application is the graphic user interface of Avogadro 2.
+
+Avogadro is an advanced molecular editor designed for cross-platform
+use in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, bioinformatics,
+materials science, and related areas. It offers flexible rendering and
+a powerful plugin architecture.
+
+Managed by OpenChemistry, Avogadro 2 it is based on QT5 libraries and
+it is a rewrite of the old Avogadro 1.x.
+
+By default the script builds avogadroapp with shared libraries. If you
+want to enable the building with static libraries, pass the variable
+SHARED=no to the script:
+
+ SHARED=no ./avogadroapp.SlackBuild (hdf5 required)
+
+Warning: the computational settings made through the Input Generator
+require the MoleQueue server running to submit jobs to local
+applications or remote HPC clusters.
+
+Since Avogadro 2 version 1.98.0, the build requires cmake at version
+3.24 or greater. This version is the latest compatible with Slackware
+15.0 that has cmake remained at the version 3.21.
