 Additionally, if you would like to compile the quantum instruction language (Quil) and run it
 locally using a quantum virtual machine (QVM) server, you will need to download and install the
 Forest software development kit (SDK):

+* `Forest SDK <https://pyquil-docs.rigetti.com/en/stable/>`__
 
 Alternatively, you may sign up for Rigetti's Quantum Cloud Services (QCS) to acquire a Quantum Machine
 Image (QMI) which will allow you to compile your quantum code and run on real quantum processing units (QPUs),
 or on a preinstalled QVM. Note that this requires a valid QCS account.
