 The main requirement for Sharg is that your operating system provides one of the compilers supported by us.
 In general, we only support the latest three major compiler versions.
 We currently support the following compilers on 64-bit operating systems with little-endian CPU architectures:
-  * GCC10, GCC11, GCC12
+  * GCC11, GCC12, GCC13
+  * Clang 17

 ## Installing GCC
 
-SeqAn requires GCC >= 10. Current versions of LLVM/Clang and VisualStudio/MSVC are **not yet supported**.
+Sharg requires GCC >= 11 or LLVM/Clang >= 17. Current versions of VisualStudio/MSVC are **not yet supported**.
 We will briefly explain how to install GCC-11 (or the latest GCC if such an option is available) on some popular
 operating systems. We recommend using the latest version of GCC available. For more information, refer to your
 operating system's documentation.
