 # Dependencies

 These are the dependencies used by Bitcoin Core.
-You can find installation instructions in the `build-*.md` file for your platform.
-"Runtime" and "Version Used" are both in reference to the release binaries.
+You can find installation instructions in the `build-*.md` file for your platform, or self-compile
+them using [depends](/depends/README.md). "Version Used" refers to the release binaries.
