+## mrtrix3src/toolVersion ##
+MRtrix3 provides a set of tools to perform various types of diffusion MRI analyses, from various forms of tractography through to next-generation group-level analyses. It is designed with consistency, performance, and stability in mind, and is freely available under an open-source license. This is the current version, built from source (not a release).
+
+
+Example:
+```
+mrview
