+Note on FastJet compatibility
+-----------------------------
+``graphicle`` offers a function wrapper around ``fastjet`` to cluster
+``MomentumArray`` objects using their optimised generalised-kT algorithm.
+However, this library cannot build wheels for all systems, including Windows
+and the latest macOS systems using ARM architectures.
+Therefore, in order to use ``graphicle.select.fastjet_clusters()``, you must
+install graphicle with ``fastjet`` as an optional dependency.
+This enables users who don't want the ``fastjet`` wrapper to ignore it, and
+still make the most of ``graphicle`` many other features.
+Use the following to get started:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+   pip install "graphicle[fastjet]"
