 # Prerequisites
 
-To run `wasm-pack` you'll need to have both Rust and npm installed and configured.
+First you'll want to [install the `wasm-pack` CLI][wasm-pack], and `wasm-pack
+-V` should print the version that you just installed.

-- [npm](/wasm-pack/book/prerequisites/npm.html)

-In the future, we intend to rewrite the npm registry client bits so that the need
-for a Node runtime is eliminated. If you're excited about that work- you should
-reach out to the maintainers and get involved!
+Next, since `wasm-pack` is a build tool, you'll want to make sure you have
+[Rust][rust] installed. Make sure `rustc -V` prints out at least 1.30.0.

+Finally, if you're using `wasm-pack` to install to publish to NPM, you'll want
+to [install and configure `npm`][npm]. In the future, we intend to rewrite the

-# Rust
-
-`wasm-pack` is a Command Line Interface tool written in Rust, and distributed with `cargo`.
-As a result, you'll need Rust and `cargo` to use `wasm-pack`.
-
-### Installing Rust and Cargo
-
-To install Rust, visit this [page](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html), which will
-walk you through installing Rust and `cargo` on your machine using a tool called `rustup`.
-
-To confirm you have Rust and `cargo` installed, run:
-
-```
-rustc --version
-cargo --version
-```
-
-### Rust Versions
-
-`wasm-pack` depends on a library called `wasm-bindgen`. `wasm-bindgen` requires that you use
-Rust 1.30.0 or higher. This version is currently only available on the `nightly` or `beta`
-channels.
-
-To get the correct version of Rust, you'll use `rustup` a Rust version manager that comes
-bundled with Rust. Run this command to install the latest Rust on the `beta` channel:
-
-```
-rustup install beta
-```
-
-You can set your project directory to always use this version of Rust by running:
-
-```
-rustup override set beta
-```
