+[[←_Back_to_Installing_ProteanOS|doc/install]]
+
+The [[ProteanOS_Development_Kit|dev/prokit]], or prokit, is a software package
+for installing, managing, and developing ProteanOS systems.  prokit enables you
+to install a ProteanOS system, run a ProteanOS shell and other commands, manage
+software packages on an installed ProteanOS system, and build packages for
+ProteanOS.
+
+Building and installing prokit is easy.  Ensure you have a **make**(1) utility
+such as GNU Make installed.  No C or C++ compiler or other development tools are
+necessary to build prokit.
+
+
+Downloading the ProteanOS Development Kit
+=========================================
+
+Download a released version of prokit from the files site by [HTTP][prokit-http]
+or [FTP][prokit-ftp], e.g.:
