 ### Installation Special Cases
 
-We use [node-pre-gyp](https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp) to compile and post binaries of the library for most common use cases (Linux, Mac, Windows on standard processor platforms). If you have a special case, Node-Serialport will work, but it will compile the binary when you install. `node-gyp` requires Python 2.x, so please ensure you have it installed and in your path for all operating systems. Python 3.x will not work.

 ## Submitting Pull Requests
-To contribute code to SerialPort, fork the project onto your github account and do your work in a branch. Before you submit the PR, make sure to rebase master into your branch so that you have the most recent changes and nothing breaks or conflicts.  Lint and test your code using [grunt](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt). Also squash your commits to a reasonable size before submitting.

 ## Writing Tests
 
-Tests are written using [mocha](https://mochajs.org/), [chai](http://chaijs.com/) and [sinon](http://sinonjs.org/).  If you are having issues making a test pass, ask for help in the SerialPort [gitter](https://gitter.im/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport) room.  Tests can be the hardest part to write when contributing code, so don't be discouraged.
