 ### Pre-requisites
 
-Currently supported OSs include both Linux and Mac OS (10.5, x86_64 only). Basic build tools (__e.g__. make) are currently required for installation. Under Ubuntu, for instance, these are available under the `build-essential` package. The required package might be named differently on different distributions.
