+
+Before running advanced tests, please update all submodules of nibabel, by running ``git submodule update --init``
+
+
+Long-running tests
+------------------
+
+Long-running tests are not enabled by default, and can be resource-intensive. To run these tests:
+
+* Set environment variable ``NIPY_EXTRA_TESTS=slow``
+* Run ``nosetests``.
+
+Note that some tests may require a machine with >4GB of RAM.
