 ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
 ### What are the minimum requirements to compile the library and tools?
-Currently, GWB requires only a C++14 compiler and CMake version higher than 2.8.12 to compile the library tools. Note that for some optional features (such as certain wrappers and unity build) a higher version of CMake and other dependencies may be needed (e.g., a Fortran compiler to compile the Fortran wrapper).
+Currently, GWB requires only a C++14 compiler and CMake version higher than 3.5 to compile the library tools. Note that for some optional features (such as certain wrappers and unity build) a higher version of CMake and other dependencies may be needed (e.g., a Fortran compiler to compile the Fortran wrapper).
 ### What do I do when I have a question or want to request a feature?
 If you have a question about the code and you can not find the answer easily in the documentation or the question is not already raised as an [issue](https://github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/issues), please let us know by opening an [issue on github](https://github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/issues/new). This is also the preferred method for asking for new features for GWB.
 
 ### I found a mistake in the documentation or code, what should I do?
 Please do not keep it to yourself and let us know. Others will also profit from mistakes being found and fixed. Even if it is just a typo in the documentation feel free to raise an issue or, even better, make a pull request to fix the issue.
 
 ### Is there a way to ask a quick question or chat with the developers or other users?
-We are now also experimenting with matrix chat ([#gwb:matrix.org](https://app.element.io/#/room/#gwb:matrix.org)). [Matrix](https://matrix.org) is an open source distributed chat protocol (a description of how to communicate). The matrix is not limited to one client, but using the [Element](https://element.io) client is generally recommended. Element can be used as a desktop, mobile or web application. Since the main developer is already present on matrix, a special space has been created for the World Builder allowing the option for multiple rooms. You can join the main room [here](https://app.element.io/#/room/#gwb:matrix.org). This is the easiest way since you can just open it in your browser. If you want to join the whole space in any client, use this link: [https://matrix.to/#/!vhukRUGUINnZOIutoQ:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/!vhukRUGUINnZOIutoQ:matrix.org).
