 ========
 The `kerberos` package is a C++ extension for Node.js that provides cross-platform support for kerberos authentication using GSSAPI on linux/osx, and SSPI on windows. Much of the code in this module is adapted from [ccs-kerberos](https://github.com/apple/ccs-pykerberos) and [winkerberos](https://github.com/mongodb-labs/winkerberos).
 
-### Requirements
-
-**Linux**
-- `python` v2.7
-- `make`
-- A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/)
-- Distribution-specific kerberos packages (e.g. `krb5-dev` on Ubuntu)
-
-**macOS**
-- `Xcode Command Line Tools`: Can be installed with `xcode-select --install`
-- Distribution-specific kerberos packages (e.g. `krb5` on Homebrew)
-
-**Windows**
-- **Option 1:** Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's [windows-build-tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools) by running `npm install -g windows-build-tools` from an elevated PowerShell (run as Administrator).
-- **Option 2:** Install dependencies and configuration manually
-   1. Visual C++ Build Environment:
-     * **Option 1:** Install [Visual C++ Build Tools](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691126) using the *Default Install* option.
-     * **Option 2:** Install [Visual Studio 2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs) (or modify an existing installation) and select *Common Tools for Visual C++* during setup.
