-If the above fails to run, or you just want to know more about our
-dependency management systems, read the next section, Dependency Details.
-Else if the above completed without error - jump ahead to step 3.
-
-### Dependency Details
-
-We have a couple of dependency management tools. We use Carthage for
-managing frameworks, but because some of our dependencies are not yet
-framework compatible, we use Cocoapods to manage the remainder in a
-static library.
-
-2.1) [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is used to manage the dependencies in our static library. Pods are setup easily and are distributed via a ruby gem. Follow the simple instructions on the website to setup. After setup, run the following command from the toplevel directory of Signal-iOS to download the dependencies for Signal-iOS:
-
-```
-pod install
-```
-
-If you are having build issues, first make sure your pods are up to date
-
-```
-pod repo update
-pod install
-```
-
-Occasionally, CocoaPods itself will need to be updated. Do this with
-
-```
-gem update cocoapods
-pod repo update
-pod install
-```
-
-2.2) Framework dependencies are built and managed using [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage). Our prebuilt WebRTC.framework also resides in the Carthage/Build directory.
-
-If you don't have carthage, here are the [install instructions](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#installing-carthage).
-
-Once Carthage is installed, run:
-
-```
-// DO NOT run: `carthage update` or `carthage checkout`.
-git submodule update --init
-carthage build --platform iOS
-```
-
 ### Building WebRTC
 
-A prebuilt version of WebRTC.framework resides in our Carthage submodule
-and should be installed by the above steps.  However, if you'd like to
-build it from source, see: https://github.com/signalapp/signal-webrtc-ios
