 # How to setup the build environment for browsh on a generic Linux system
 
-You can follow this guide as-is on x86-64 based Linux distributions.
-You may try to adapt it to other systems.
-This guide assumes that you cannot install the required Go, NodeJS and Firefox packages
-from your distribution's repositories.
-In case they are available, you should install them using your system's package manager.
-
-## Installing golang
-
-Get the latest binary for your target Linux system from the [golang download page](https://golang.org/dl/).
-
-Extract to `/usr/local` with:
-
-```shell
-tar  -C /usr/local -xzf go1.11.linux-amd64.tar.gz
-```
-
-Add `/usr/local/go/bin` to your `PATH` in `~/.profile`
-
-## Installing nodejs/npm
-
-Go to the [nodejs download page](https://nodejs.org/download)
-and select the LTS version of the Linux x86 64bit binaries.
-
-```shell
-mkdir /usr/local/lib/nodejs
-VERSION=v8.11.4
-DISTRO=linux-x64
-tar -xJvf node-$VERSION-$DISTRO.tar.xz -C /usr/local/lib/nodejs
-mv /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION-$DISTRO /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION
-```
-
-Edit your `~/.profile` to add `/usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-v8.11.4/bin` to your `PATH`,
-then reload your profile:
-
-```shell
-source ~/.profile
-```
-
-Create symlinks for *node* and *npm*:
-
-```shell
-sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
-sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
