-## <a name="requirements"></a>Software requirements
-
-* Python 2.7 or later.
-
- Use the Windows-native Python version. Do not use Python that comes with the
- MSYS2 shell or that you installed in MSYS using Pacman because it doesn't
- work with Bazel.
-
-* [MSYS2 shell](https://msys2.github.io/).
-
- You also need to set the `BAZEL_SH` environment variable to point to
- `bash.exe`. For example in the Windows Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`):
-
- ```
- set BAZEL_SH=C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe
- ```
-
- **Note**: do not use quotes (") around the path like you would on Unixes.
- Windows doesn't need them and it may confuse Bazel.
-
-* Several MSYS2 packages.
-
- Run the following command in the MSYS2 shell to install them:
-
- ```bash
- pacman -Syuu git curl zip unzip
- ```
-
-* Java JDK 8.
-
- JDK 7 and 9 are not supported.
-
- This step is not required if you downloaded a binary distribution of Bazel
- because it has JDK 8 embedded.
-
-* If you built Bazel from source: set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable to
- the JDK's directory.
-
- For example in the Windows Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`):
-
- ```
- set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112
- ```
-
- **Note**: do not use quotes (") around the path like you would on Unix.
- Windows doesn't need them and they may confuse Bazel.

- This step is not required if you downloaded a binary distribution of Bazel
- or installed Bazel using Chocolatey. See [installing Bazel on
