-Development Environment
------------------------
-
-The following guide assumes your system has [virtualenvwrapper](https://bitbucket.org/dhellmann/virtualenvwrapper)
-and [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/) already installed.
-
-You'll need to install some C library dependencies:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev gfortran
-
-wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
-tar -xvzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
-cd ta-lib/
-./configure --prefix=/usr
-make
-sudo make install
-```
-
-Suggested installation of Python library dependencies used for development:
-
-```
-mkvirtualenv zipline
-./etc/ordered_pip.sh ./etc/requirements.txt
-pip install -r ./etc/requirements_dev.txt
-```
-
-Finally, install zipline in develop mode (from the zipline source root dir):
-
-```
-python setup.py develop
-```
-
-Style Guide
-------------
-
-To ensure that changes and patches are focused on behavior changes,
-the zipline codebase adheres to both PEP-8,
-<http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>, and pyflakes,
-<https://launchpad.net/pyflakes/>.
-
-The maintainers check the code using the flake8 script,
-<https://bitbucket.org/tarek/flake8/wiki/Home>, which is included in the
-requirements_dev.txt.
-
-Before submitting patches or pull requests, please ensure that your
-changes pass ```flake8 zipline tests``` and ```nosetests```
