+# Exciting Parser
+
+This is the parser for the [exciting](http://exciting-code.org/) part of the [NOMAD Laboratory](http://nomad-lab.eu). The official version lives at
+
+    git@gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de:nomad-lab/parser-exciting.git
+
+you can browse it at
+
+    https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/nomad-lab/parser-exciting
+
+It relies on having the nomad-meta-info and the python common repositories one level higher.
+The simplest way to have this is to check out nomad-lab-base recursively:
+
+    git clone --recursive git@gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de:nomad-lab/nomad-lab-base.git
+
+then this will be in parsers/exciting.
