+After all this, there are still a few little hurdles to jump! You can install **nswtopo** and **nswtopo-layers** using gem.
-  * **nswtopo-layers** assumes it needs nswtopo2.0.0 (rather than 3.1.0) and installs it as a dependency. So you'll probably need to then uninstall the 2.0.0 version.
-  * the version of **nswtopo-layers** on the GEM site hasn't been updated for a while, so many of the servers are out of date - though most still work. You are probably better off downloading the zip file directly from GitHub. See below for how to configure the layers manually.
 ''gem install nswtopo''
-You may be better off without the next two steps, but just in case...
 ''gem install nswtopo-layers''
-''gem uninstall nswtopo'' - and select the 2.0.0 version.
+If you have previously installed nswtopo on your Windows machine, there will likely be copies of it somewhere in your path - which is also used as the starting point for the Ubuntu path. I wasted a lot of time - unsuccessfully - trying to resolve this. In the end, I just ran the Ubuntu version of nswtopo using the full path (in my case ''/home/tomb/.gem/gems/nswtopo-3.1.1/bin/nswtopo'' rather than ''nswtopo''). A bit painful. There may be easier ways around this.

 === Confirm NSWTopo version ===
-Run ''nswtopo -v'' (or ''nswtopo --version'') to see whether you have version 3.1 set. If not, you will probably need the full path.

 You'll need to do something similar if you've manually downloaded nswtopo-layers.
