-This repository compiles a NDT engine that is meant to be integrated into
-the build of Measurement Kit.
+`libndt` is a Network-Diagnostic-Tool (NDT) C++11 client engine.
 
 ## Synopsis
 
 This example runs a NDT download-only nettest with a nearby server:
 
 ```C++
-#include <measurement_kit/libndt/libndt.hpp>
+#include <libndt.hpp>
 
 int main() {
-  using namespace measurement_kit;
   libndt::Client client;
   client.run();
 }
