-To build the system it is strongly advised to use the _ReactOS Build Environment (RosBE)._
-Up-to-date versions for Windows and for Unix/GNU-Linux are available from our download page at: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Build_Environment.

-Alternatively one can use Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version 2010+. Building with MSVC is covered here: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Building_with_MSVC.

### Binaries
See ["Building ReactOS"](http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Building_ReactOS) for more details.
+You can always download fresh binary builds of bootable images from the ["Daily builds"](https://www.reactos.org/getbuilds/) page.

## Installing
-ReactOS currently can only be installed on a machine that has a FAT16 or FAT32 partition as the active (bootable) partition.
-The partition on which ReactOS is to be installed (which may or may not be the bootable partition) must also be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.

+The partition on which ReactOS is to be installed (which may or may not be the bootable partition) must also be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.
ReactOS Setup can format the partitions if needed.
+Starting 0.4.10, ReactOS can be installed using the BtrFS file system. But
+consider this as an experimental feature and thus regressions not triggered on
+FAT setup may be observed.
+
To install ReactOS from the bootable CD distribution, extract the archive contents. Then burn the CD image, boot from it, and follow the instructions.
See ["Installing ReactOS"](https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Installing_ReactOS) Wiki page or [INSTALL](INSTALL) for more details.
## Testing
-If you discover a bug in ReactOS search on JIRA first - it might be reported already. If not report the bug providing logs and as many information as possible.

See ["File Bugs"](https://www.reactos.org/wiki/File_Bugs) for a guide.
ReactOS is also not "yet another OS". It does not attempt to be a third player like any other alternative OS out there. People are not meant to uninstall Linux and use ReactOS instead; ReactOS is a replacement for Windows users who want a Windows replacement that behaves just like Windows.
