 Installing Go
 -------------
-Kapacitor requires Go 1.6 or greater.
 
-To install go see https://golang.org/dl/

-Revision Control Systems
-------------------------
-Go has the ability to import remote packages via revision control systems with the `go get` command.  To ensure that you can retrieve any remote package, be sure to install the following rcs software to your system.
-Currently the project only depends on `git` and `mercurial`.
+Kapacitor typically requires the lastest version of Go.
 
-* [Install Git](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
-* [Install Mercurial](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Download)

 Build and Test

 Kapacitor vendors all dependencies.
-Kapacitor does not use a dependency manager tool, but rather uses git subrepos to place
-dependencies in the vendor directory.
-This give complete control over how dependency are managed and keeps the workflow simple.
-A few helper scripts are provided to make this process fast and easy.
+Kapacitor uses the golang [dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) tool.
 
-To manage the subrepo you must first install [git-subrepo](https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo#installation).
-
-First list all dependencies, including dependencies of dependencies.
+Install the dep tool:
 
 ```
-./list-deps
+go get -u github.com/golang/dep
 ```
 
-To add a new dependency add a new entry to the `vendor.list` file, of the form:
-
-```
-<package> [branch]
-```
+See the dep help for usage and documentation.
 
-The `branch` column is optional.
-If `branch` is left empty the default branch will be used.
-
-For example, to add the `github.com/influxdata/foo/bar` dependency add this line to the `vendor.list`.
-
-```
-github.com/influxdata/foo https://github.com/influxdata/foo.git
-```
-
-Notice that `bar` part of the path was left off since its a subdirectory of the repo.
-
-Commit this change then run:
-
-```
-./vendor.sh github.com/influxdata/foo
-```
-
-This will add the subrepo for the git repo under `vendor/github.com/influxdata/foo`.
-
-Later to update the dependency use the same command.
-
-```
-./vendor.sh github.com/influxdata/foo
-```
-
-Or to update all dependencies at once use
-
-```
-./vendor.sh
-```
-
-These scripts are really simple, we may formalize them later but currently simplicity is key.
+Kapacitor commits vendored deps into the repo, as a result always run `dep prune` after any `dep ensure` operation.
+This helps keep the amount of code committed to a minimum.
