-## INSTALL FROM SOURCE
-
-This section is for developers who want to contribute to KCC or power users who want to run the latest code without waiting for an official release.
-
-Easiest to use [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com) to clone the KCC repo. From GitHub Desktop, click on `Repository` in the toolbar, then `Command Prompt` (Windows)/`Terminal` (Mac) to open a window in the KCC repo. 
-
-Depending on your system [Python](https://www.python.org) may be called either `python` or `python3`. We use virtual environments (venv) to manage dependencies.
-
-If you want to edit the code, a good code editor is [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com).
-
-If you want to edit the `.ui` files, use [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss), included in **Qt for desktop development**.
-Then use the `gen_ui_files` scripts to autogenerate the python UI.
-
-
-### Windows install from source
-
-One time setup and running for the first time:
-```
-python -m venv venv
-venv\Scripts\activate.bat
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-python kcc.py
-```
-
-Every time you close Command Prompt, you will need to re-activate the virtual environment and re-run:
-
-```
-venv\Scripts\activate.bat
-python kcc.py
-```
-
-### macOS install from source
-
-One time setup and running for the first time:
-```
-python3 -m venv venv
-source venv/bin/activate
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-python kcc.py
-```
-
-Every time you close Terminal, you will need to reactivate the virtual environment and re-run:
-
-```
-source venv/bin/activate
-python kcc.py
