+ Please note that Zarr includes a C extension providing integration
35
+ with the Blosc library. Pre-compiled binaries are available for Linux
36
+ and Windows platforms and will be installed automatically via pip if
37
+ available. However, if you have a newer CPU that supports the AVX2
38
+ instruction set (e.g., Intel Haswell, Broadwell or Skylake) then
39
+ compiling from source is preferable, as the Blosc library includes
40
+ some optimisations for those architectures::

- N.B., on posix systems Zarr will attempt to build the Blosc C extension.
41
- Zarr will fall back to a pure Python installation on other platforms or if
42
- the C extension fails to build for any reason, which means that 'blosc'
43
- compression will not be available.
