Building from source
====================
-There are two options for building NumPy- building with Gitpod or locally from
-source. Your choice depends on your operating system and familiarity with the
-command line.

-Gitpod
-------
-
-Gitpod is an open-source platform that automatically creates
-the correct development environment right in your browser, reducing the need to
-install local development environments and deal with incompatible dependencies.
-
-If you are a Windows user, unfamiliar with using the command line or building
-NumPy for the first time, it is often faster to build with Gitpod. Here are the
-in-depth instructions for building NumPy with `building NumPy with Gitpod`_.

Please note that the Python development headers also need to be installed,
