 ### Technical requirements
 
-You will need several tools to work with this repository. In addition to all of
-the packages described in the [INSTALL](INSTALL.md) file, you will also need
-python, and the mako template renderer. To install the latter, using pip, one
-should simply be able to do `pip install mako`.
-
-In order to run all of the tests we provide, you will need valgrind and clang.
-More specifically, under debian, you will need the package libc++-dev to
-properly run all the tests.
-
-Compiling and running grpc C++ tests depend on protobuf 3.0.0, gtest and gflags.
-Although gflags is provided in third_party, you will need to manually install
-that dependency on your system to run these tests. Under a Debian or Ubuntu
-system, you can install the gtests and gflags packages using apt-get:
-
-```sh
- $ [sudo] apt-get install libgflags-dev libgtest-dev
-```
-
-If you are planning to work on any of the languages other than C and C++, you
-will also need their appropriate development environments.
-
-If you want to work under Windows, we recommend the use of Visual Studio 2013.
-The [Community or Express editions](http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx)
-are free and suitable for developing with grpc. Note however that our test
-environment and tools are available for Unix environments only at the moment.
-
-## Testing your changes
-
-We provide a tool to help run the suite of tests in various environments.
-In order to run most of the available tests, one would need to run:
-
-`./tools/run_tests/run_tests.py`
-
-If you want to run tests for any of the languages {c, c++, csharp, node, objc, php, python, ruby}, do this:
-
-`./tools/run_tests/run_tests.py -l <lang>`
-
-To know about the list of available commands, do this:
-
-`./tools/run_tests/run_tests.py -h`
-
-If you are running tests for ObjC on osx, follow these steps before running tests:
-* install Xcode command-line tools by running
-`sudo xcode-select --install`
-* install macports from https://www.macports.org/install.php
-* install autoconf, automake, libtool, gflags, cmake using macports
-* restart your terminal window or run source ~/.bash_profile to pick up the new PATH changes.
-
-## Adding or removing source code
-
-Each language uses its own build system to work. Currently, the root's Makefile
-and the Visual Studio project files are building only the C and C++ source code.
-In order to ease the maintenance of these files, we have a
-template system. Please do not contribute manual changes to any of the generated
-files. Instead, modify the template files, or the build.yaml file, and
-re-generate the project files using the following command:
-
-`./tools/buildgen/generate_projects.sh`
-
-You'll find more information about this in the [templates](templates) folder.
