 The software required for running ``flex_extract`` depends on the :doc:`Documentation/Overview/app_modes` and therefore is described in the respective specific installation sections. 
-
     
 Generally speaking, ``flex_extract`` requires `Python 3`_ and Fortran together with certain modules / libraries.
 We tested ``flex_extract`` with the python3 package from the the GNU/Linux distribution and Anaconda Python. The required python3 modules should prefarably be installed as distribution packages, or alternatively using Python's own package manager ``pip`` (this may mess up some aspects of your python installation, especially if you use ``pip`` as root. Think about using virtual environments.).
+
+Before installing the system packages check the availability with ``dpkg -s <package-name> |  grep Status`` or ``rpm -q <package_name>``, depending on your system. For example: 
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   $ dpkg -s libeccodes-dev |  grep Status
+   # or
+   $ rpm -q libeccodes-dev
