-# Installing Software Prerequisites
-
-These instructions have been adapted from the Aardwolf documentation, and may not be accurate.
-As such, this notification should be updated once verified for Plume installs.
-
-> NOTE: These instructions may help in installing a production version, but are
-intended for developers to be able to build and test their changes. If in doubt,
-seek out documentation from your distribution package or from [the `docs` folder](docs).
-
-## Installing Requirements
-
-### Installing PostgreSQL
-
-In order to run the Plume backend, you will need to have access to a
-[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database. There are a few options for doing this, but for
-this guide we’re going to assume you are running the database on your
-development machine.
-
-#### Linux/OSX Instructions
-
-If you're on an Ubuntu-like machine, you should be able to install
-PostgreSQL like this:
-
-    $ sudo apt-get update
-    $ sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
-
-If you see an error like:
-
-     = note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq
-          collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusb
-
-Then you may need to install the libpq (PostgreSQL C-library) package as well :
-
-    $ sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
-
-If you're on OSX and using `brew`, do
-
-    $ brew update
-    $ brew install postgres
-
-For Gentoo (eselect-postgresql is optional),
-
-    # emerge --sync
-    # emerge -av postgresql eselect-postgresql
-
-For Fedora/CentOS/RHEL, do
-
-    # dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib mariadb-devel libsq3-devel libpqxx libpqxx-devel
-
-
-#### Windows Instructions
-
-For Windows, just download the installer [here](https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads#windows) and run it. After installing, make sure to add the <POSTGRES INSTALL PATH>/lib directory to your PATH system variable.
-
-### Installing rustup
-
-> Note: Rustup managed installations do appear to co-exist with system
- installations on Gentoo, and should work on most other distributions.
- If not, please file an issue with the Rust and Rustup teams or your distribution’s
- managers.
-
-Next, you’ll need to have the [Rust](https://rust-lang.org/) toolchain
-installed. The best way to do this is to install
-[rustup](https://rustup.rs), which is a Rust toolchain manager.
-
-#### Linux/OSX Instructions
-
-Open your terminal and run the following command:
-
-    $ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
-
-For those who are (understandably) uncomfortable with piping a shell
-script from the internet directly into `sh`, you can also
-[use an alternate installation method](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustup.rs/#other-installation-methods).
-
-#### Windows Instructions
-
-If you don't already have them, download and install the [Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools](http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools).
-
-Then, download the [rustup installer](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html) and run it. That's it!
-
-### Installing Rust Toolchain
-
-Once you have `rustup` installed, make sure you have the `nightly` rust
-toolchain installed:
-
-    $ rustup toolchain install nightly
-
-### Installing GetText
-
-GetText is the tool we use to manage translations. It will be needed at runtime, since we only compile
-translation files when starting Plume.
-
-#### Ubuntu-like Linux
-
-    $ sudo apt-get install gettext
