 For automatic configuration: In the top level directory run
 
 ```sh
-  $ make configure EPICS_BASE=/epics/base/path EPICS4_DIR=/epics/v4/path [BOOST_NUM_PY_DIR=/boost.numpy/path] [BOOST_ROOT=/boost/path] [PYTHON_VERSION=3]

 ```
 
 Note that you can only use the automatic configuration if the v4 modules have
 not been renamed. In the above command replace `/epics/base/path` with the full
 path to your EPICS Base directory, and `/epics/v4/path` with the full path to 
 your top level directory containing the v4 modules pvDataCPP, pvAccessCPP, etc. 
+If you are using EPICS7 release, you can omit EPICS4_DIR argument, as 
+configuration scripts will find the required v4 libraries and header files in 
+the EPICS Base directory. 
 
 The optional `BOOST_NUM_PY_DIR` argument enables NumPy array support for older
 Boost versions, as v1.63.0 and later releases already include NumPy libraries.
