-# Build dependencies
+# Developer set up
 
 Those who are developing software with Rust should install the [Rustup toolchain manager](https://rustup.rs/).
 After installing rustup, run `rustup override set 1.31.0` to set your Rust toolchain to the version that Ion is
 targeting at the moment. To build for Redox OS, `rustup override set nightly` is required to build the Redox
 dependencies.
 
-> Distribution packagers must ensure that their distribution has packaged both cargo and rustc 1.31.0.
-> Distribution packagers should also currently build Ion from git. Release tarballs have not been made yet
-> due to the shell being incomplete in a few remaining areas.
+# Build dependencies

+Please ensure that both cargo and rustc 1.31.0 or higher is installed for your system.
