-- Poetry: https://python-poetry.org/
-- Pre-commit: https://pre-commit.com/
-- Docker: https://www.docker.com/

-## Python
-CTMS is a Python application. We tend to keep the application up to date with
-the latest version of Python -- we pin to the patch version throughout the
-repository.
-
-To keep your development environment up to date, you may wish to install a
-Python version manager to switch Python versions along with the application.
-Tools for this include:
-- [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv)
-- [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/)
 
-Dependabot will submit pull requests to update the Python version in the
-Dockerfile, but will miss other places like `pyproject.toml` and Github Action
-workflow files. This `sed`[^1] snippet will find/replace all Python versions in
-one go - in this example, from version `A.B.C` to `X.Y.Z`:
-```bash
-git ls-files | xargs sed -i 's/A\.B\.C/X\.Y\.Z/g'
-```
-
-Manually inspect the changes to filter out false positives.
-## Poetry
+Prerequisites
 
-### Installation
-Install Poetry for osx/linux (please confirm via the [poetry docs](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation)):
+- Make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/
+- Poetry: https://python-poetry.org/
+- Docker: https://www.docker.com/
+- Pre-commit: https://pre-commit.com/
+- [psycopg2 build prerequisites](https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#build-prerequisites)
 
-```sh
-curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
-```
+## Setup Dependencies
 
-### Setup Dependencies
 To set up dependencies necessary for local development, run:
 
 ```sh
 make install
 ```
 
-If these fail with an error like:
-
-```
-Error: pg_config executable not found.
-
-pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source.  Please add the directory
-containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable path with the
-option:
-...
-```
-
-then you need to install the `psycopg2` prerequisites, like the PostgreSQL development package. See
-[psycopg2 build prerequisites](https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#build-prerequisites)
-for help.
-
-### Using Poetry
-Opens shell with corresponding dependencies to the poetry(.lock) in the directory that you make the call:
-
-```sh
-poetry shell
-```
-
-Runs command with poetry venv:
-
-```sh
-poetry run {command}
-```
-
-### Adding Dependencies
-Add new dependencies in pyproject.toml through poetry:
-
-```sh
-poetry add {pypi-package}
-```
-
-### Updating Dependencies
-To update a dependency to the latest version:
-
-```sh
-poetry add {pypi-package}@latest
-```
-
-This can also be used to update via constraint:
-
-```sh
-poetry add {pypi-package}@^2.1.0
-poetry add {pypi-package}>=2.0.0,<3.0.0
-```
-
-Using ``poetry add`` will also update ``pyproject.toml``, which is easier for a
-human to parse than ``poetry.lock``.
-
-To update all dependencies in ``poetry.lock``, but not ``pyproject.toml``:
-
-```sh
-poetry update
-```
-
-To update a single dependency in ``poetry.lock``:
-
-```sh
-poetry update {pypi-package}
-```
-
-### Exiting Poetry Shell
-
-Run the following command to exit `poetry shell` while in a shell.
-
-```sh
-exit
-```
-
-The command `deactivate` might not work to full disengage the poetry shell as it does with `venv`.
-
-[...view poetry site for further documentation and details.](https://python-poetry.org/)
-
-### Keeping Poetry up to date
-Poetry is pinned to a specific version in a few places throughout the
-repository. This `sed`[^1] snippet will find/replace all of these insances in
-one go - in this example, from version `A.B.C` to `X.Y.Z`:
-```bash
-git ls-files | xargs sed -i 's/A\.B\.C/X\.Y\.Z/g'
-```
-
-Manually inspect the changes to filter out false positives.

-## Using Docker Compose and the Makefile
-`docker-compose` is a tool for configuring and running Docker containers, and is
-useful for running PostgreSQL and CTMS together in a development environment.
-
-### Installation
-`docker-compose` is included with Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows. For other systems,
-see [Install Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
-
-`make` is included on some operating systems and an optional install on others. For
-example, `make` is part of the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 (see the
-[Installation Guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) for
-installing).
-
-To test that they are working:
-
-```sh
-make help  # Shows the CTMS make rules
-make build # Build the docker containers
-```
-
-### Viewing the Database
-The tool [adminer](https://www.adminer.org/) is included as `postgres-admin`,
-allowing you to view the database in the development environment.  To start it:
-
-```sh
-docker-compose up -d postgres-admin
-```
-
-The adminer website runs at http://localhost:8080. Log in with these credentials:
-
-* System: PostgreSQL (from dropdown)
-* Server: `postgres`
-* Username: `postgres`
-* Password: `postgres`
-* Database: `postgres`
