-## Building from source
-
-Below are instructions on how to build Deno from source. If you just want to use
-Deno you can download a prebuilt executable (more information in the
-`Getting Started` chapter).
-
-### Cloning the Repository
-
-Clone on Linux or Mac:
-
-```shell
-git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/denoland/deno.git
-```
-
-Extra steps for Windows users:
-
-1. [Enable "Developer Mode"](https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+enable+developer+mode)
- (otherwise symlinks would require administrator privileges).
-2. Make sure you are using git version 2.19.2.windows.1 or newer.
-3. Set `core.symlinks=true` before the checkout:
- ```shell
- git config --global core.symlinks true
- git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/denoland/deno.git
- ```
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-> Deno requires the progressively latest stable release of Rust. Deno does not
-> support the Rust nightlies.
-
-[Update or Install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). Check that
-Rust installed/updated correctly:
-
-```
-rustc -V
-cargo -V
-```
-
-### Building Deno
-
-The easiest way to build Deno is by using a precompiled version of V8:
-
-```
-cargo build -vv
-```
-
-However if you want to build Deno and V8 from source code:
-
-```
-V8_FROM_SOURCE=1 cargo build -vv
-```
-
-When building V8 from source, there are more dependencies:
-
-[Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads) for running WPT tests. Ensure that
-a suffix-less `python`/`python.exe` exists in your `PATH` and it refers to
-Python 3.
-
-For Linux users glib-2.0 development files must also be installed. (On Ubuntu,
-run `apt install libglib2.0-dev`.)
-
-Mac users must have Command Line Tools installed.
-([XCode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) already includes CLT. Run
-`xcode-select --install` to install it without XCode.)
-
-For Windows users:
-
-1. Get [VS Community 2019](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) with
- "Desktop development with C++" toolkit and make sure to select the following
- required tools listed below along with all C++ tools.
-
- - Visual C++ tools for CMake
- - Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0)
- - Testing tools core features - Build Tools
- - Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64
- - Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64
- - C++/CLI support
- - VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for desktop
-
-2. Enable "Debugging Tools for Windows". Go to "Control Panel" → "Programs" →
- "Programs and Features" → Select "Windows Software Development Kit - Windows
- 10" → "Change" → "Change" → Check "Debugging Tools For Windows" → "Change" →
- "Finish". Or use:
- [Debugging Tools for Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/)
- (Notice: it will download the files, you should install
- `X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us.msi` file manually.)
-
-See [rusty_v8's README](https://github.com/denoland/rusty_v8) for more details
-about the V8 build.
-
-### Building
-
-Build with Cargo:
-
-```shell
-# Build:
-cargo build -vv
-
-# Build errors? Ensure you have latest main and try building again, or if that doesn't work try:
-cargo clean && cargo build -vv
-
-# Run:
-./target/debug/deno run cli/tests/002_hello.ts
-```
