+Camelot also comes packaged with a [command-line interface](https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/cli.html)!
 
 **Note:** Camelot only works with text-based PDFs and not scanned documents. (As Tabula [explains](https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula#why-tabula), "If you can click and drag to select text in your table in a PDF viewer, then your PDF is text-based".)
 
 ## Why Camelot?
 
-- **You are in control.**: Unlike other libraries and tools which either give a nice output or fail miserably (with no in-between), Camelot gives you the power to tweak table extraction. (This is important since everything in the real world, including PDF table extraction, is fuzzy.)
-- *Bad* tables can be discarded based on **metrics** like accuracy and whitespace, without ever having to manually look at each table.
-- Each table is a **pandas DataFrame**, which seamlessly integrates into [ETL and data analysis workflows](https://gist.github.com/vinayak-mehta/e5949f7c2410a0e12f25d3682dc9e873).
-- **Export** to multiple formats, including JSON, Excel, HTML and Sqlite.
+- **Configurability**: Camelot gives you control over the table extraction process with its [tweakable settings](https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced.html).
+- **Metrics**: Bad tables can be discarded based on metrics like accuracy and whitespace, without having to manually look at each table.

You can also export tables to multiple formats, which include CSV, JSON, Excel, HTML and Sqlite.

 Why Camelot?
 ------------
 
-- **You are in control.** Unlike other libraries and tools which either give a nice output or fail miserably (with no in-between), Camelot gives you the power to tweak table extraction. (This is important since everything in the real world, including PDF table extraction, is fuzzy.)
-- *Bad* tables can be discarded based on **metrics** like accuracy and whitespace, without ever having to manually look at each table.
-- Each table is a **pandas DataFrame**, which seamlessly integrates into `ETL and data analysis workflows`_.
-- **Export** to multiple formats, including JSON, Excel and HTML.

-You can do the following checks to see if the dependencies were installed correctly.
+For Ghostscript
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Open the Python REPL and run the following:
+
+For Ubuntu/MacOS::
+
+    >>> from ctypes.util import find_library
+    >>> find_library("gs")
+    "libgs.so.9"
+
+For Windows::

+    <name-of-ghostscript-library-on-windows>
+
+**Check:** The output of the ``find_library`` function should not be empty.
+
+If the output is empty, then it's possible that the Ghostscript library is not available one of the ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``/``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH``/``PATH`` variables depending on your operating system. In this case, you may have to modify one of those path variables.
 
 For Tkinter
 ^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-Launch Python, and then at the prompt, type::
-
-    >>> import Tkinter
-
-Or in Python 3::
+Launch Python and then import Tkinter::
 
     >>> import tkinter
 
-If you have Tkinter, Python will not print an error message, and if not, you will see an ``ImportError``.

-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Run the following to check the ghostscript version.
-
-For Ubuntu/macOS::
-
-    $ gs -version
-
-For Windows::
-
-    C:\> gswin64c.exe -version
-
-Or for Windows 32-bit::
-
-    C:\> gswin32c.exe -version

-If you have ghostscript, you should see the ghostscript version and copyright information.
+**Check:** Importing ``tkinter`` should not raise an import error.
