+The following steps provide all the methods but 'ORBoost':
 
 1. Install a [supported compiler](https://es.mathworks.com/support/compilers.html). The easier way is to use the "Add-ons" assistant to download
 and install [MinGW](http://es.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-mingw-support-package.html).
 1. Test [basic C example](https://es.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/52848-matlab-support-for-mingw-w64-c-c++-compiler) to ensure `mex` is propertly working.
 1. Inside MATLAB's console, run `make` in folder `src\Algorithms`
 1. From `src` run `runtestssingle` to check the instalation.
 
-To compile 'ORBoost' you need to install 'w64-mingw32':
+We provide binaries and dlls for 'ORBoost' to avoid the *complex* build task in Windows. Make will unpak all the binary files. If you need to compile your own binaries, these are the steeps.
 
-1. Open a terminal by presing Windows key and tipping 'cmd.exe'.
-1. Set Windows path to your 'w64-mingw32' installation binaries dir, for instance:

 ```
-1. Change to directory `orca\src\Algorithms\orensemble\` (Right now only works in `orca\src\Algorithms\orensemble\orensemble\`.).
+1. Move to directory `orca\src\Algorithms\orensemble\orensemble`.
 1. Run `mingw32-make.exe Makefile.win all`.
